American links are never friendly

you have to select the Replays tab
Select Meadowlands MZ
Select Saturday the 7th
Select Race 9

You can see that we have it easy here

If the majority of these mares do not come back Downunder - it cannot be good for the breeding industry

Majorca N who had the somewhat average NZ record of 48-6-4-3 before being exported to QLD where she had the incredible record of 10-8-1-1 in just 4 months at the end of last season, last night won the Betsy Ross in Philadelphia beating Amazing Dream into 4th

Does anybody know if the Trittons took Funatthebeach NZ to the US with them?
When he was exported to Oz from NZ in late 2019 he only had the 2 starts here (for them) and I thought this would have coincided with them going to the US

Funatthebeach is atop the US earnings chart, having won $512,267 US so far this season but I note that he is leased and trained by somebody else

I reckon there will be quite a few rolling home from the Meadowlands on Saturday night
