Edited Press Release
Australia hosts 72 races worth AU$1 million or more and prizemoney across the board has also surged by 82% in the past decade. These statistics and more are included in the latest Aushorse Investors' Guide, which was released Thursday.
Another key statistic out of the guide is that the average prizemoney per race in Australia during the last racing season was over AU$46,000, compared to AU$29,000 in America and Europe, and AU$20,000 in the UK.
“Whichever way you look at it, investing in a racehorse in Australia offers an unparalleled opportunity to get a significant return,” said Aushorse and Thoroughbred Breeders Australia chief executive Tom Reilly.
“When you look at the prizemoney here and in other jurisdictions where anybody can become an owner, there is simply no comparison. The guide has been very popular in recent years and we've received great feedback from people overseas as well as from trainers and syndicators locally who have appreciated having the stats to hand,” added Reilly.
