I mentioned my puzzlement over this arbitrary exclusion in a TDN piece nearly two years ago: AI guess that this is done because the prize-money in those countries is deemed disproportionate to that in the majority of other countries and can therefore slant the statistics,@ I suggested. Statistics from the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities confirm that prize-money in Hong Kong and Japan are at a different level. The average prize-money per race in 2012 was equivalent to i110,947 in Hong Kong and i45,851 in Japan, whereas the figures for the U.S. and Canada were i16,136 and i20,013, respectively. But Hong Kong and Japan aren=t the only countries capable of distorting the figures. The average for the 320 races staged in the United Arab Emirates equated to i103,865.
