For every beer swigging pizza eating racehorse like Nettoyer to give you some perspective on this great game, you need an Addeybb (or Verry Elleegant) and better spelling!
The former makes racing in Australia real and achievable to all at all levels – the old anyone can win tag – the latter pits International competition, an Arabian owned British Bulldog against the other by a $500 Kiwi stallion that big players bought into the dream.
Only in Australia. And only can happen in our best races.
Put aside corner room lofty discussions that Golden Sixty (from Hong Kong), Mishriff (from England via France and Saudi Arabia) or Contrail (via Japan) are higher rated – whatever that means - Australian racing survives on a rare egalitarianism that makes our racing so vibrant and unique.

The story of
Addeybb
Down Under is a timely reminder that every major racing jurisdiction in the world needs foreign involvement to be truly relevant.
You need to know where you’re at, where you fit in, whether or not you’re kidding yourself.
Singapore shut its door to international competition a few years back and now absolutely no-one takes notice of Singapore.
Your strength, in both racing and breeding, is measured only when you are exposed. You can’t play in the
Little League forever.
The Championships 2021 closed with a truly world class performance by UK raider Addeybb in the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.
Addeybb, racing in blinkers for the first time proved too strong for Australia’s best Group 1 performer Verry Elleegant.
Verry Elleegant’s trainer Chris Waller won two of the four Group 1s contested on the day with Hungry Heart winning the Australian Oaks and Selino giving former champion Sydney apprentice Ronnie Stewart his first Australian Group 1 victory in the Sydney Cup.
Last year’s Doncaster Mile winner Nettoyer won her second Randwick Group 1 mile when knocking off the hot favourite Probabeel in the Queen Of The Turf.
