forewordThe Australian Racing Board is pleased to present this publication of the SeventhEdition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to theAustralian thoroughbred racing industry.The Board’s objective in publishing the Fact Book is to draw together under one coverthe key results and statistics for the Australian thoroughbred racing industry for eachracing season. A number of books and journals report in detail particular aspects ofthe racing industry and we hope that the Fact Book has established itself as a useful andreliable source of the broadest range of thoroughbred racing information.THE CHAIRMANAustralian Racing Board LimitedMr Andrew Ramsdenendeavor. Even so, this brief foreword would be an unnecessary, dull affair if I did notmention at least some of the outstanding performances in the 2004/05 racing season.Makybe Diva’s second Melbourne Cup places her in the most select company. Withoutraising the ire of their respective loyalists by drawing comparisons, it can certainly be saidthat we are privileged to see such a great mare race so soon after Sunline.unprecedented, at least in modern times and is an achievement that may never berepeated.The achievements of Redoute’s Choice in the breeding sector also have to be mentioned.he followed this up by taking the title for the Champion second crop season sire in theGolden Slipper, in which he sired six runners, a new record in itself. Another Australianrecord was also set when a Redoute’s Choice yearling colt was knocked down for $2.5million at the 2005 Inlgis Easter Yearling Sale.Last year’s Fact Book contained a number of enhancements, with more than 40 additionaltables featuring trend analysis, along with additional information on shuttle stallions,imports and exports of thoroughbreds, and international racing. We have gone one betterthis year by including the World Thoroughbred Racehorse Ratings and the AustralianGroup 1 Winners for the 2004/05 racing season. Your feedback and suggestions forfurther improvements are always welcomed.Compiling the Fact Book depends on the cooperation of a range of people andorganisations. Our genuine thanks are expressed to them for their willing assistance.Finally, I would like to acknowledge the enterprise and excellent work performed by JakeHoward, the Fact Book’s editor and compiler.Andrew RamsdenChairmanAustralian Racing Board LimitedAUSTRALIAN RACING FACT BOOK 2004/05 5
