i have always felt that gai's horses are one of the reasons that good horses have so little longevity in sydney.

i follow listed horses and they seem to disappear so quickly that you hardly get used to the names of them.
it could be argued that the money counts but somehow if your;re keen (as an owner) to be in racing it would be nice to have a horse for 3 or 4 years of racing.
sadly many sydney horses dont make it past 1 or two seasons.
this may be an illusion and common to all places but i think the topliners seem to be one day wonders in a lot of cases.
