I'll put it to yoiu in a big picture to understand what I mean....If Australia was crushed by an enormous earthquake/tsunami and wiped off the entire continent and killed every Thoroughbred that existed there --- the Throughbred horse racing industry would NOT be impacted significantly....get it?
Now, if North America or Europe were wiped out, it would cripple the industry....Would you not agree?

No, Joel. I don't "get it." You are wrong here, buddy.
Every horse I mentioned is a champion, and if you don't care to research who they beat, what they won, and how they did it rather than just discounting them because they didn't run in America then that is your choice. I'm definitely not trying to convince you of anything. It isn't much of a debatable point.
The Melbourne Cup and incidentally the Flemington Spring Carnival coincide with our Breeders Cup. The Melbourne Cup is usually the first Tuesday after the Breeders Cup day.
Contrary to popular belief, a Breeders Cup race to Australians definitely isn't a bigger race to win than The Melbourne Cup.
Elvstroem went to Dubai and won two years ago in the Duty Free, Takeover Target and Choisir won Group One sprints at Royal Ascot in the last few years, and they do consistently go to Japan and Hong Kong and run competitively.
Hong Kong racing is made up of former Australian and Kiwi gallopers who change their names. There was one formerly named Eltira that did pretty good for quite a while (Silent Witness)
There will be European, Asian, and Arab-owned horses contesting the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate, and Caufield Cup this year, they always do.
If you were Australian, wouldn't you rather win a Cox Plate, or a Caulfield or Melbourne Cup than a Breeders Cup?
I'm not sure why you have taken this attitude with me, because I assure you that I won't be taking any lessons from you.
And I can also guarantee that you wouldn't be popping off your mouth if we weren't on this gay-ass message board and face to face.
Your true ****-ish attitude has shown through Joel, and you have quit debating topics and are now just acting like a spoiled kid.
