Although she was a NZ horse, most of her racing was in Australia.

25 times? 33 times?

While yeah, that's pretty nice, don't forget, Zenyatta ran 20 times.

Not a huge difference.

48 vs 20 is a bit of a difference.

The lack of a general ability to read these days KILLS me.

Yeah, I did misread that. I was busy with work and misread it as her running 32 times.

Still, that is almost certainly not the normal type of career for a top caliber g1 horse down there.

One instance a trend does not make.

So You Think the best horse in Australia ran 5 times in 45 days last year - all in G1 races, and they werent egg and spoon G1s either. He only won 4 of them though, coming 3rd in the Melbourne Cup 4 days after sauntering to a G1 win over 10f..

plus Im sure the lads like Ed can point to more horses that have campaigns like this every year!!

Brock you are a legit guy. You think the offspring of Hussonet or Redoute's Choice or any of the top Aussie stallions are better made for racing more often or is more likely just training and philosophy dictate such circumstance?

Two others I can think of straight away are Zipping (45 starts so far) and the amazing sprinter Takeover Target (41 starts).
