Australian thoroughbreds are renowned the world over for their speed and toughness and this 11 horse field is a clear illustration of what Australian breeders do best.
Ranging in age between three (Capitalist) to nine (Buffering), these dazzling
speedsters have amassed a staggering $29,117,639 in prizemoney.Their success highlights the massive prizemoney on offer in the shorter races not only in Australia but throughout the world, given only one of these horses has ever won beyond 1400 metres.
Their collective earnings average out at $2.6 million per horse, not a bad return when you consider of the seven runners offered at auction as yearlings none were super expensive. Click here to read our Sale Mail story from earlier this week.
$7.2 million earner Buffering (Mossman) was the cheapest bought for just $22,000 at Magic Millions and Golden Slipper winner Capitalist (Written Tycoon), the most expensive, also sourced at Magic Millions for $165,000.
Every horse in the field is a Group I winner, barring Fell Swoop (Not a Single Doubt) and even without a win at the elite level, he too has won over $1million in prizemoney.
