According to Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria, the 2002/03 racing season has been a vintage year for Victorian breeders who have claimed almost 20% of the Gr1 races conducted in Australia.

Of the 64 Gr1 races, Victorian breeders produced 13 winners. Seven of those winners: Rubitano (Rubiton), Spinning Hill (Dolphin Street), Winestock (El Moxie), Delago Brom (Encosta De Lago), Bush Padre (Redding) and Danehill Dancer duo, Choisir and Private Steer, were by Victorian-based sires at an average service fee of $7,300.

This is compared to the average New Zealand fee of $26,200 (also seven Australian Gr1 winners). “New South Wales Gr1 winners for the year were bred at an average fee of $29,800,” declared the TBV report.
