STRAWBERRY ROAD (AUS) 1979 (Strawberry Road II in USA)
45 starts, 17 wins (6 x Group 1), 7 seconds and 7 thirds. Win % 37.8, Place % 68.9.
I have estimated his total AUD equivalent earnings as follows:
For Australian and USA starts I have included the USD/ AUD exchange rate, the USD amount and the AUD amount at the end of that race result.
For all other foreign starts I have included the foreign currecncy earnings, that currency's / AUD rate, USD/ AUD exchange rate, the USD amount and the AUD amount at the end of that race result.
The only Australian result I have not been able to cross check with another source is that for his win in the AJC Derby which is race number 15849 in the Australian Race Results for the 1982-1983 year . All other Australian results have been verified from two sources albeit both could be wrong.
For Australian starts the value of trophies is included in the race race earnings shown for each start and the trophy value is also shown separately.
Both 'Racing Victoria' and Mark Taylor have Australian earnings of AUD 675,240 while I have AUD 689,800 and I am not able to speculate on the reason for AUD 14,560 the difference.
