I'm not sure about that. Those Japanese races pay much more than US races do....regular allowance races have $100,000+ purses. She might be the biggest earner from Australia, but I doubt it world wide

Good point. I forgot about that. I can't name any Japanese horses. But even at 100,000+ - you'd need to win 100 races to win 10 million dollars.

Still, her story is pretty impressive -- 3 Melbourne Cup victories.

T M Opera O


According to a January 2001 article in Bloodhorse, T M Opera O ended the year 2000 with US$12,677,309 in earnings.

I don't know how much more he raced after that. Do you have any more data?
