As breeders and owners prepare their best bred horses for the 2022 Australian yearling sales, here are just a few compelling statistics that showcase our land of opportunity:
- Australia offered 72 races worth A$1 million or more this year, compared to 49 in America and just 18 across all of Europe.
- In the 2020-21 season, one in every 175 horses racing in Australia had career earnings of A$1 million or more.
- Prizemoney in Australia has increased by 82% in the last 10 years, despite COVID-19.
- Australia's best breeders are sellers - 75% of Australian-bred Group One winners in 2021 were offered as yearlings, easily the highest of any jurisdiction.
