Hit the Road, Jack!

Saturday, July 11th, 2009
G’Day mate! I’m off to Australia this afternoon as the guest of my Australian business partner Andrew Reichard. Andrew is publisher of Bluebloods, the Southern Hemisphere’s counterpart to the Thoroughbred Times and The Blood-Horse, and his website www.stallions.com/au is the most popular thoroughbred website in Australia.

This is my first visit to Sydney since the 1990′s when I made several trips there as well as one to New Zealand. Sydney is truly one of the great cities in the world and in many ways it reminds me of San Francisco.

eNicks has taken off like gangbusters in Australia so I thought it was an excellent time to make a return visit. Andrew and I are going to spend next week visiting the stallion farms of the Hunter Valley of New South Wales and then go racing on Saturday. The Hunter Valley is 6th most popular tourist attraction in Australia, famous for its thoroughbred horse farms and wine vineyards. Life is good!
