Monday was a strange day 16.11.09 with not a single Bianconi winner in racing around Australia.
After 10 winners in 6 days the horse was certainly on a big run.
Last season 2008-09 Bianconi had 91 individual winners in Australia. Of these 24 were multiple winners.
So his effort to chalk up individual winner number 50 in less than a third of the season is a very solid effort, especially as already 13 of these are multiple winners.
In fact a quick look at the Arion figures to Nov 15th produced in ANZ Bloodstock News 17.11.09 shows how well he is going in comparison to all the big stallions:
