Australians love their horse racing and Australian Horses must be among some of the most expensive in the world.......

I dont follow the sport, but during a recent visit to Broome West Australia with some friends (Thai and Aussie) we went along to the Broome cup races to observe the Festive event.  During the visit we went along to a special luncheon about the race day and they provided some booklets about Racehorses (the cover page is shown to the left).

The book was specific about the 2009 "Bloostock" (Bloodtsock is a term used for these valuable anaimals and valuable they are..... anyway... while browsing the book.... I almost fell of the chair when I calculated the revenue from Servicing.. that means when the Stallion mates with your Mare...
