Unfortunately with Bettors Delight in the twilight of his career and Artsplace mares not getting any younger, it may not provide the answer

Interesting to note that the millionaire list includes 35 Australian-bred and 61 NZ bred pacers.
He mentions a total of 10 NZ-bred trotters have earned more than $1 million (Australia 0?)

You can see why I think 'trotting' yearling prices may have got ahead of themselves
I have been thinking about how out of skew the 2 countries are and it would be interesting how many $A are in the NZer millionaires totals
It cannot have done the Australian industry any good to have NZers like Allstars pillage our biggest races

Then there is all the horses we buy from them
And yet we are told that their industry is struggling too
Maybe they are selling too many to us and the USA to grow their racing product
Maybe it is the Ozzie story repeated - what are punters betting on
Sorry, starting to ramble
