Actually, the Aussies still do it this way to some extent. The top horses race in September and October every week or two weeks leading up to the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup carnival (ends first week of November), are 'spelled' for a couple of months, then start to gear up for the Sydney Easter Carnival, when they will race every week (or less!) again. Then another spell, until it is time to start gearing up for the spring in Melbourne again.
