Great horses beat the best. They don't dodge the contest like Winx did.
@johnfoster7626 3 ай бұрын
Winx never beat anything good. Kingston Town was beating horses that had won Melbourne Cups. A tried and true champion.

Kingston Town in the 1980 Tancred was simply unbelievable. I saw this race, when KT went past Double Century, I thought he broke down but Double Century actually came second. Hard to believe any horse in history would have beaten KT that day.

Kingston Town was, and still is, the most remarkable Racehorse that ever raced in this country. I don't think we will ever see another one like him in our lifetimes.

People don’t understand that KT is the Frankel of the 80s. They both had both stayer and sprinter pedigree. KT had German stayer pedigree. This is why he was so versatile; so brilliant!!!

Who was better do you think, Kingston Town or Winx at their peak ? I never saw Kingston Town race before these videos, but I always thought Winx had the fastest burst sprint. It would have been a good race over 2000m between the 2 horse I reckon.
@mikerat007 3 жыл бұрын
Over 2000m then probably Winx but you need to remember that Kingston Town ran and won all the way from 1200m to 3200m. Over 2400m to 3200m the Kingston Town, under 1600m also Kingston Town. Before his injury it would be a close call at any distance. A freak.

@@mikerat007 yeah I noticed in the highlights I saw in this video before the injury, he had that acceleration and was winning by a long way, but after he came back from that injury, he didnt seem to be the same, but instead, he showed more heart and fight, then speed and still won.

A true champion. When TJ can't separate him from Tulloch .. . The King would have butchered Winx over 2400m-3200m. You gotta feel she would have the edge from 1200m-1600m. Over 2040m at Moonee Valley, if they'd raced three times I'd say 2-1 to the King. Mind you, Sunline would have picked them both up and carried them over 1200-1400m. And probably 1600m.
@johnfoster7626 Ай бұрын
1 of his qualities is that he was versatile. And he also had a very high pain threshold as he spent most of his career carrying injury. Basically, he was never sound and was still able to defeat quality racehorses. What a champion.

But, IFF they raced at the same time and I had 5k and could only back 1, I'D back Winx for sure. She'd never have flogged him but? I'd say she'd beat him from anything from a Nose too 1 length. That said we'll never know.

Not as good after the injury. Part one of these tapes is the Kingston town i remember. Absolute freak. Be a brave man to say Winx is better than this horse. Met much better horses than Winx. 1200 -3200. Could hold a position and had explosive power. Different horse to Winx. Bloody Enable. This horse would eat Enable over 2400. Not sure about Winx.

I backed against him as a 2y old he got knocked over 2-3 times and way back and all of a sudden it was like he was shot out of a cannon and killed the big field I backed a Colin Hayes horse he shot clear at huge odds , but Kingston town was a freak, today we have Winx but the king was a better horse being able to win big long distance cups too consistently and should have won the Melbourne cup but for poor judgement on Mal. Johnston. Winx is the better of the 2 up to about the cox plate distance, any further and the king would eat him up, I was at the valley when Bill said he couldn't win, I was at the start of the home turn, the video doesn't do that race justice he was so wide .
