Australian breeders have been notoriously shy over the past 20 to 30 years in supporting stallions that are bred in the Southern Hemisphere, albeit with a few exceptions such as Christian Cullen, Classic Garry, Courage Under Fire and Elsu.
Consequently large amounts of money have been drained from our Australian Breeding Industry in supporting the North American owned shuttle stallions.
