19yo sire Changeover is being spruiked in this article

The article finishes with the statement
Changeover is the sire of the winners of $19.7million to date.
The NZ site has him down for about $6m
https://harness.hrnz.co.nz/gws/ws/r/...rSite&Arg=TRUE
While Australia has him down for a bit over $4m if you search here
https://www.harness.org.au/ausbreed/...on=main.search
Where does the $19.7m figure come from?
In Australia he has had 9 horses make over $250k but they were all bred in NZ, were all born in 2011-14 and have taken an average of 161 starts to do it

Any publicity is good publicity, so it is said. And, boy, this horse's crew never miss an opportunity to publicise the stallion. Whether one of his progeny break a record or just break wind, they make sure you know about it. A great horse on the track, as a stallion breeders seem acutely aware he was trained by Geoff "The Asterisk" Small. That's a name that makes NZ trots people either gag or spit on the ground.
