Oh, and I am not pretending to understnd Australian racing other knowing they are small players in the grand picture of our industry - hence the comparison to New Jersey or louisiana programs - or any small programs...
No sir, you won't tell me anything.

The reason that American buyers don't go buy Australian horses and bring them here isn't because they are not as good as most other parts of the world. You really think South American and European horses are just better than Australian ones, and that is the reason you see a lot of them here?

I'm glad you have the assurance of having this figured out, but when you stumble across the real reason, feel free to come back on and explain it to everyone in an editorial.
