That's awesome.

I absolutely love that Austrailian breeders have taken to sires like More then Ready. It seems that over the recent years more American bred horses have been coming down there.

How many race tracks are down there and what is the 'Saratoga' of Austrailia?

Yes we have some really good sires here but like the world over everything is turning into the early maturing 2 yr old with storm cat sires & redoutes choice (Danehill). We have race tracks all over australia in 3 classes in cities "metro" tracks like flemington,moonee valley , Rosehill, Doomben,eagle farm.
Provincial, Cranbourne ,gold coast etc
"Bush" pooncarie, birdsville, etc population for bush meetings can swell a town that has a pop of say 85 like pooncarie can swell to 5,000 just for the race ;-)

Melbourne cup is still our main race but trainers & punters still consider the "cox plate" the race that has the best of the best
