Although she was a NZ horse, most of her racing was in Australia.

While yeah, that's pretty nice, don't forget, Zenyatta ran 20 times. Not a huge difference.

Still, that is almost certainly not the normal type of career for a top caliber g1 horse down there. One instance a trend does not make.

Why does anyone think that horses are racing drug free in other countries? Because they don't admit to running on Lasix? LOL. Yeah ok. Many of the "advances" in juice come directly from other countries. Brett Pelling and the "Blue magic" are direct imports from down under.
Here is a link from "drug-free" Australia http://www.theage.com.au/news/Horse-...996492071.html Doesn't sound much different than here Biancone didn't arrive on these shores squeaky clean only to be corrupted by our "drug culture". Does anyone really believe South American racing is drug free? Remember when Japanese trained Deep Impact tested positive in the Arc?http://www.drf.com/news/deep-impact-...tive-after-arc As for using Dubai as an example of Drug free racing remember that there were more races run in the US last weekend than will be run in Dubai all year. The idea that American bloodlines have been "weakened" by medication is laughable but sadly many people will continue to believe such nonsense. Foreign buyers buy far more bloodstock at public auction here than anywhere else. Sadlers Wells- American bred (leading sire in Europe) Danehill- American bred (leading sire in Europe and Australia) More than Ready- American bred (top 3 sire in Australia) Most of the top mares bought at Keeneland that are exported as breding stock are American bred. The two most childish and simplistic (and absolutely wrong) myths about horseracing are the "medication weakens the breed" and "only a commissioner can save the game".
