[@brianreid5294]

There will never be another horse like Winx ever ? What a champion 🏆.

[@superskills1017]

I feel Black Caviar was a little hard done at 6th. 25 for 25 with 15 G1s is pretty hard to top. Also in the Diamond Jubilee race that was shown she tore 2 muscles in her back and still won, which is pretty insane to comprehend. Luke Nolen had to coast for the last 100, probably would've won 5+ lengths otherwise. Not to take anything away from the other horses, but you just can't top that.

[@elgransenor1472]

Her record is amazing and she is the best sprinter I’ve ever seen. But i think that’s the problem. Most racing people outside Australia generally consider the important racing takes place between 1600 and 2400. Sprinting is not really considered that important outside Australia. In every other major racing nation (and in Australia before around the year 2000) the horses who win between 1600-2400 are considered the great horses. Maybe if her trainer had won 2 or 3 races at a mile like Vain and Manikato did she might have got a higher spot in the list.

[@elgransenor1472]

By the way, I disagree with your assessment of her DJ win. I think she was fine until Nolen made her relax and then urgently pick up again 30m from the finish line. That’s the sort of event that would most likely cause that type of injury. There’s no other obvious point in the race where she is bumped by another horse or stumbles or breaks stride. I think the trainer got her preparation wrong and the jockey got the ride wrong and when she started to relax she was suddenly and unexpectedly asked to make another effort. Classic scenario for a muscle injury. I agree she should have won by 3+ lengths but not for the same reasons you do.

[@jakeg3296]

@@elgransenor1472 Your assessment of when the injury occurred has merit as a sudden bustle would make a case for a tear but Nolen said she didn’t feel right in running. Also she could have left it on the training track as she reportedly worked very well in the days before and horses can be over trained especially on unfamiliar courses . I’ll leave it up to the vets , injuries definitely not my expertise. However much as I would like to agree with you that she would have won by 3 plus I’ve watched the race several times and my assessment is that had Nolen not made that almost fatal blunder , (he admitted he didn’t see the challenges on the inside ) , the margin would only have been a length or so ,2 at the most . How far she was off her game is evidenced by the moderate former Aussie , Soul only a length behind in 4 th place . In Australia Soul would not get within 10 lengths of Black Caviar .

[@elgransenor1472]

@@jakeg3296 I think Moody made two mistakes He shouldn’t have given her those two runs in Sth Australia, I think they flattened her followed by the travel I think that’s why she didn’t feel right to Nolen, she had gone over the top. He should have gone for the Kings Stand over 5f a bit fresher instead of the Jubilee

Smarty Jones did more to increase interest in horse racing in the United States than any other horse this century. Smarty has left an indelible mark on the hearts of so many people, and he will never be forgotten.

[@narrowistheway77]

He flopped at Stud though. You can breed him for only $3,500 today and he’s rather undesirable even at that low fee. The horse of the Century so far was absolutely Curlin. He won horse of the year two separate times, he pretty much exclusively ran in high stakes races with international horses with an 11-2-2 record from 16 starts, he amassed over $10,000,000 in race earnings, and at Stud he’s been an absolute rockstar currently taking in a rumored $225,000 per live foal

I think you'll find that position is flattering for Winx. Not the horse's fault but from memory she raced 7 horses rated above 124 in her entire career. Also I love the call but she is not the greatest of all time in Australia. Tulloch rated 138 and Kingston Town rated 137 are the greatest of all time in Australia although I would have them the other way around. Tommy Smith could not split them.

[@al1979rocker]

Black Caviar is the best. This video only shows her worst race, where she had a tear in a hindquarter and still won. The only other time she didn't win easily was when she stumbled out of the barriers at Flemington and injured herself, but still won. It's harder to win sprint races easily, as you have less time to do so. She won 23 of her 25 races without ever looking troubled. She broke records, she carried record weights and broke records, she was literally as bomb proof as a horse comes. Her 10th start was her best win for mine, The Newmarket at Flemington over 1200m where she carried a record weight for a mare, broke the race record of 135 years, and had the race won with 400m still to go. A little known fact, she won her 18th start over 1400m in the Orr Stakes (never tested by nearly 4 lengths), and backed up a week later over 1000m in the Lightning Stakes, winning easily again. This is almost an impossible feat for a horse to achieve. Statistically for two years prior in Australia, only one horse had won over 1400m and then 1000m in consecutive weeks. It was in Kangaroo Island where racing is pretty much at an amateur level. Black Caviar did it easily in two group 1 races. That is insane. If you had to take to take one horse to win a race over any distance to save your life, you would take Black Caviar over 1200m. Simply unbeatable.

That’s why I’ve always deferred to other people’s opinions. What I know is, Black Caviar is the finest horse I’ve ever seen or worked with - until I saw Frankel win on that Tuesday at Royal Ascot" 🙂

Enabled should be ahead of Arrogate and Black Caviar on the list, every day of the week, Zenyatta reminded me of Arazi winning the juvenile, coming from way behind and blasting the field by 11 lengths. The jockey on Black Caviar was so lucky not to throw the race, cause he would have gotten a 6 month ban, the jockey on the horse Arrogate beat, he lost that race, terrible jockey ride. Amazing that owner Khalid Abdulla have 3 horses on the list. Frankel simply the best EVER!

[@GBeret83]

Really decent list. People will still complain because there's several other great horses that could've and probably should've been on this list. Without trying to sound like I'm complaining, if I had to name just one that was overlooked it would probably be Goldikova. In 27 career starts she only finished out of the money one time, finishing her career with a record of 27-17-6-3. Though based in France, she also raced in England and the United States. She won 14 Group 1 races, with 9 victories over colts & geldings, putting her above Miesque as the only European-trained horse to have ever won more than 10 Group 1 races. Which included 3 straight Breeders Cup Mile wins in 2008, 2009, & 2010.

[@kcsweatman6593]

Zenyatta is the best closer to ever grace a track, *** ever.

[@TeQzElementzz]

[@kcsweatman6593]

@@TeQzElementzz A sprinter is a bit different than a closer at a classic distance who is 30 lengths behind past the half. Mine that Bird showed us how to close a race. When he won the Derby, he wasn't even picked up by the camera. That's how far off the pace he was. I think Z misjudged the finish line in her last race. It was dark and the lights can change a horse's perception. She was far behind too long to close in the 2010 BC. Hats off to Chautauqua for his rare feats sprinting. It's no less special, but apples and oranges in racing.

I agree mate 100%...what a world class horse Sea The Stars was. Also, I think So You Think fits into the top 10 as well somewhere. He won five Group 1s in both hemispheres, that has never been done before or since by any horse in the history of racing. He raced in six countries: Australia, England, Ireland, France, USA and Dubai. He raced on turf, dirt and tapeta and was stretched out to 2400m (4th in an Arc when ridden horribly) and 3rd in the Melbourne Cup at 3200m. A world class horse but also so very very tough.
