But you aren't comparing Apples with Apples.

You still haven't given us any champs originating from Ellerslie!  Carbine probably the closest!!!

As for the South Island don't forget:

Phar Lap
Nightmarch
Princess Mellay
Monte Carlo
Seamist
Canterbury Belle
 

I'm just getting started!

Pretty sure Bonecrusher started out at Ellerslie . When Ellerslie was a training center there were plenty of TOP horses trained there .

Are we talking trained or bred , Phar Lap was bred in the SI .

At least you get seasons unlike Auckland where you get months of miserable drizzle.  Rarely rains properly in Auckland (from a West Coaster perspective) so never gets a good clean.

They say Auckland can get four seasons in one day?  Try going from 33 degrees in a norwester to 11 degrees in a south wester within half an hour.  Beautiful to watch from on top of the Port Hills.

Use get same like that in Dunedin in December, why moved back.
