“We achieved our highest spot this month…”

The latest Alexa ratings, which measure a website’s traffic average, were released on the 14^th February. Somehow, readers of these columns seem to be growing with the passage of every day, and we achieved our highest spot both nationally and internationally this month. That’s strange in itself, because there are no major activities going on around us, yet it’s clear we have an ever-growing legion of fans.

It follows, given the remoteness of our location, that we are flattered by these numbers, and especially by the fact that, by three times, we have the highest traffic rating of any thoroughbred breeding website in the world. When you think of the behemoths out there, all actively engaged in our business, that’s some statement. If you’re wanting to compare us with the likes of Darley and Coolmore (the biggest worldwide), Lane’s End (USA), Arrowfield (Australia), Shadai (Japan), Cheveley Park (UK) etc, go to www.alexa.com.
