WA Horses - Success Outside of WA Since 1984
West Australian Racing
Ok people, here is a nice one for you. I have a mate who is a proud Victorian and he doesn't rate WA racing. I have been telling him for years now that whilst WA racing as a whole is not as good as eastern states racing, if you look through the record books - WA will produce a good horse every now and then who win a Group/Listed race outside of WA.
For the last 2 months I have been finding every single WA horse since 1984 who have won a Group/Listed race outside of WA. Below is the list that I have got. I'm not sure why I chose 1984 as a starting point - not sure at all but I did and that's the starting point. See below my list and add any horses that I have missed out - I am running out of horses to find and this is where your help is appreciated. Before anyone comments, you may be surprised at some of the horses who are on this list but I have checked their career records and they along with all the other horses on this list - have won Group/Listed races outside of WA.
When this little research assignment is complete, I will show my friend and this might give him a different opinion about WA Racing.

PC asked for horses that won group/ listed races outside of WA, not necessarily just over east.
Is Buddy Franklin a West Australian or a Victorian?

Ok
Radman - Yeah I had Placid Ark and Starstruck already on the list but for some reason didn't include him in on my original post, had a brain snap.
Dungy - Heed The Toll won the G3 Rain Lover Plate at Victoria Park, Adelaide and the Group 3 West End Draught Stakes which is now known as the Lord Reims Stakes - a race in Adelaide. Also in regards to Cedarberg and Ethiopia, as Radman has said - Cedarberg and Ethiopia were bred in WA, foaled in WA and are still owned in WA - they just don't race here. Cedarberg and Ethiopia fall into the same category as Black Knight who is a West Aussie - bred and owned in WA but raced in the eastern states.
Died
Which is correct, just that i thought that Cedarberg didn't race anywhere...anymore..
Willoughby
Won Manifold Stakes (listed Flemington)
Won Blamey (Group 2)

Yep - a Group/Listed outside of WA. Spot on.
Didn't Scenic blast get a good one up Queensland??
Shout From Maroof et al
What Group/Listed races did Shout From Maroof win outside of WA?
Did Shout from Maroof have another name before going to Hong Kong?
What I intend on doing when I have finished this research is put all of the WA horses who have won Group/Listed races outside of WA from 1984 onwards on this thread. Included will be the actual horse, career record and their major wins (Group/Listed) with the major wins outside of WA highlighted.
Cheers,
PC.
