Nice list.
I think Melbourne Cup winning filly Auraria deserves to be there though and I would have given some thought to True Course too, but these things go on forever. Now, put them in order of merit ![]() |

Analysis of Champion Racehorses by Peter Pring and The Thoroughbred Press published 1977, arrived this am and inspired this list, I had always wanted to do a list of mares. I wonder why Auraria was not included in this book. All her winning was done 1895, I wonder if that counted against her ?

Joanne if I am not mistaken is the only non group 1 winner on the list but she was one of the best sprinters I have seen. This leaves the list at 101 ![]() Do not hesitate to nominate fillies and mares I have missed or you believe deserves recognition. |

That was a poor miss by me considering she is my timeline. ![]() Mosheen could possibly be there in front of others but Unwordly did live up to her name and I could not drop her for Mosheen... |

Right or wrong there'll possibly be a cloud over Mosheen given her trainer's behavior during her time-line.

Pring does outline his criteria in his introduction and it explains most of his omissions. Too detailed to reproduce here.
One more I would consider would be Waltzing Lily, an excellent short courser from the early 1930's - but don't ask me who to leave out if you want to keep the list to 100. An interesting sidelight is that off the 100 race mares listed 3 produced Melbourne Cup winners - Wakeful, Horlicks and Rose of Kingston (which is pretty good given that the mares on the list are not exclusively staying types).

He started off with horses who won greater than 50% of their races, he also wanted them to have at least one major handicap carrying greater than WFA and worked from there. |

Alternatively Pring allowed for
-- horses that had run a national time record or a race record in a principal race, -- that the horse should have performed at the championship level for at least 3 campaigns, -- and they had 20 starts or more. -- and won a principal race in Melbourne or Sydney, Auckland or Wellington. He also admits he stretched his guidelines to include horses that didn't meet them but he regarded worthy. Even then he regrets not having been able to find space for NTB's like Aquanita and horses like Gothic. |

It would also be interesting to do the same with broodmares - the greatest 100 Australasian Broodmares throughout time. Interesting that some of the oldest mares on that list have female lines still producing stakes horses. My namesake isn't one of them as she didn't have any foals. From one extreme to the next.

The producers of more that three G1 winners and move up or down as the case may be. You could put in mares who only produced stakes winners etc. Or then you could add ones with only winning foals and most stakes winners etc. Dams of Champions usually wouldn't make the list as Champions seem to be one offs. Except of course with Octagonal's dam etc.

Well you could do either. Taproot mare line still producing today will find mares like Juliet, Eulogy, Manto etc and they would be on the other list also although Manto you'd have to take on race credit so maybe not. She was well before the real G1 races started.
