Lots of different things
Here is an old story on some of the sire lines of Australian chefs-de-race published in The Sportsman, Australia's greatest Racing paper.

John Hutchinson from Scone Bloodstock is the man who has developed our ANZ chefs-de-race list. We are looking at updating this list, together with perhaps a few overseas influences that we are seeing more frequently here, that have yet to be classified internationally. Stallions like Sunday Silence and other Japanese stallions, and even some of the German stallions perhaps need to be looked at to see where they fit as influences in our local breed.
