Lots of us take our pets on Holiday.

They got to meet Winx and of course a glimpse of the racing Beauty Mr Waller is married to.   ( A handsome Couple ) .      4 wide Hughie and his wonderful wife add to a picture that would make a vacation in OZ with your fav pet ,   A must.

You have to go with the flow .   If I asked you who was Australia's most popular Femme at the moment,   Winx comes up without a 2nd thought.

I had to mention the other mounts I would accept without a fee.

I don't know any knockers AA.  Some of us get scared that she will run into trouble which stops her run.  If run fairly I can't see her beaten - but that isn't knocking her, that is knowing things can happen in a race which a jockey can't foresee or maybe overcome.  Long may she reign as far as I'm concerned she's amazing.

F%$K! She's a machine!

Close enough to $20m in prizemoney, 19 G1s, 26 consecutive wins...if she wins the 4th Cox Plate, she goes down as the greatest horse of the modern era, and one of the top 3 to ever race in Australia.

We're only talking the almost mythical Phar Lap and Carbine now.
Sunline...simply supreme

I have no doubt she is the best horse to ever race in Australia

I have never ever seen anything remotely like her in my 40 plus years of watching horses.

And I don’t expect I will ever see anything like it again.

One of a kind, I can’t even think of a word to describe just how good she is.
Everything I think of, she is better than!

All I can say is WOW

Winx is an out and out Champion! She's the best I've seen in my 50 odd years watching racehorses. I grew up listening to the racing stories of my grandfathers old punter mates and when it came to Phar Lap they'd just shake their heads and say he was a freak. Winx is the only one in my time that I find myself doing the same! We're so lucky to be watching her perform.

Don't know if this sound even be a remote possibility... But next year could she be trained for a farewell run first up in The Everest? I think she could do it...

God, I just threw up my breakfast.

Some talking head on tv pontificated as to if Winx is our best ever. Then seriously asked. But is she as good as Makybe Diva

For her to pick up a field at 1400, like she did, and go past the lot of them like they werent even there, I honestly believe she is the greatest racehorse the world has ever seen in the history of racing.

She even has the best name ever for a racehorse.
Some things defy logic and just seems like destiny.

Her sectionals - on the worst part of the track were nearly half a second faster than the next best all day (Kementari - also wide). Some wind assistance in the straight. 

Nearly 49 sec for the first 800 - hardly breaking records, although the gusty wind would have influenced that.

Now she can break the all time prizemoney record, not sure, maybe Gentildonna holds that one, about the only record still unconcurred.

My opinion hasn’t changed for about a year. She’s arguably right up with Frankel over 2000m at WFA. Definitely in the top 2 of my lifetime and has certainly got many more strings to the bow than Frankel. A 4th Cox Plate might put them on par.

A 4th Cox Plate will not improve her standing anywhere.

She will be no better for having won a 4th Cox Plate than she is today.
