Is racing in Australia becoming a overweight?

Number of first prizes exceeding USD1 million by country       Australia   15      TOTAL   60 

How can it be sensible that a country with 0.33% of the global population has 25% of the $million+ races.

More generally the local racing industry seems grossly overweight relative to population and the (still?) 7% of the adult population that bet regularly on horse racing.

Australia may be left holding a chaff bag.

Mr Mair

Perhaps it is not surprising that Sydney and Melbourne can afford so many big money horse races. I recently heard it reported that Australia may soon pass Russia and Brazil to become the world's 10th largest economy.

Australians have generally high disposable incomes and, in my research, I find the racing industry gets far more general media coverage than in Europe or North America so racing is front of mind when it comes to recreational pursuits.  Australia may also have a better system of taxation that returns funds to the industry for reinvestment as prizemoney etc.

Given that Sydney and Melbourne have a disproportionately high share of economic wealth the heavyweight battle for supremacy is being fought with buckets of money. 

As to the future I don’t have a crystal ball.  Despite many naysayers, for the time being Australia is still a lucky country, even if run mainly by second rate people who share its luck.

Cheers

I must commend the Japanese (japanracing.jp/en) for the amount of detail they publish about their group races.  All I had to do was pick races with a first prize of JPY 100,000,000 plus. Racing Australia needs to lift its game.   It was also easy to mine the details of French group 1 races at 'france-galop.com/en'. The US breeders cup race details are found at 'breederscup.com' whereas other US stuff can be found on 'equibase.com'. Hong Kong (hkjc.com) can be a bit hit and miss from time to time.  The British and Irish horse racing authority websites are useless.  The Irish Derby will be run on 25 June and there was nothing I could find which is a disgrace.  Fortunately 'racingpost.com' saved the day.

Cheers
