Oh my golden little book

Brilliant this is

shows registered breeders dropped from 853 in 1999 to 446

buy live foals per year only went down by 10 units 3641.

Stallions down from 170 to 122

Based on this we should have about 15000 horsies in training at any given time.

Where are they all going to.

Its a hard game was expecting the top earners to have a better then 8% win rate?

Also got my South African Racing Fact Book in the po box, in fact I got 3!

Very good

I also got three. No wonder this industry is going bust.

What i found interesting is that they had a pick of rocks off in for no apparent reason. RIP
