The glory of sprinter/miler Australian thoroughbred breeding and racing is now very much on show throughout the world.
Black Caviar is merely the latest of our equine high achievers to strut her stuff on the world stage.
More will follow as a consequence of our investment in quality breeding stock over the past couple of decades.
The equine world will increasingly doff its cap at the performances of our home-bred horses in the international arena.
Tribute must be paid also to the professionalism of our trainers, without whose skills the potential of so many thoroughbreds may not have been realised.
There is no longer any justification for what was known as the cultural cringe in years past, where some doubted our capacity to compete with the best in the world.
