  • Welcome 2009
    WELCOME 2009 The Australian Racing Board is pleased to publish the Eleventh Edition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. The Board’s objective in publishing the Fact Book is to draw together under one cover the key results and statistics for the Australian thoroughbred sector for each season. While a number of books and journals report in detail particular aspects of Australian racing and breeding, we can well and truly say that the Australian Racing Board’s 1999 vision has been achieved, and the Fact Book has established itself as a useful and reliable source of the broadest range of information relating to Australian thoroughbred racing and breeding. The facts and figures contained in the Fact Book, will speak for themselves. To breathe some life into this statistical record it is useful to briefly touch on some of the stand-out achievements that have occurred during the period under review. Bart Cummings increased his Melbourne Cup tally to 12 in 2008 with Viewed winning the great race and looked destined to further increase his holdings to 13 this year after taking all before him in the spring with Viewed winning the Caulfield Cup, and So You Think winning the Cox Plate. Faint Perfume would also go on to win the VRC Oaks, however it was the Mark Kavanagh trained Shocking who spoilt the party by taking out the 2009 Melbourne Cup. Shocking’s victory in the Melbourne Cup magnified the highs and lows of racing, with Mark Kavanagh previously tasting defeat in the Cox Plate after saddling up the well fancied Whobegotyou, then having to scratch the favorite for the VRC Derby, Shamoline Warrior on the morning of the race.

The 2008/09 racing season was exceptional for Waikato Stud with six individual G1 winners of nine G1 races. All known Australasian records were broken and we were duly crowned ‘Breeder of the Year’ – our fourth such award in the last five years. This season, we have produced 11 individual stakes winners of 14 stakes races, two at Race results are the highest level – the Kevin Gray trained Daffodil and David Fuller’s Metal Bender.
