Two others not yet mentioned are the NZ mares Chantal & Unpainted.
Chantal won the 1966 Epsom by 5 lengths from Galilee & then the WFA George Main Stakes a couple of days later. Unpainted won the Doncaster Hcp & two days later the All Aged Stakes. I am sure both won important races in NZ & became very good broodmares. |

Just to add a bit on Chantal, John H. She won the G1 George Adams Handicap (now the Thorndon Mile) at Wellington, so that gives her 3 G1s.
She won her Epsom very impressively but George Moore was booed by the crowd when she was beaten three lengths and a short half-head third behind Winfreux and Light Fingers as odds-on favourite in the 1966 Caulfield Stakes. Chantal was retired after sustaining an injury during Storm Queen's George Adams Mile victory at her next start. From an old Miller's Guide and Trove it looks as though she had 25 starts for 8 wins, 6 seconds and 2 thirds. An on-line pedigree gives 9 wins but counts her Rothsay Hcp victory as a 2yo twice. She certainly ranks with many of the others listed.

Carioca, the report I read said Chantal went 8 lengths clear before George Moore eased her back near the post. No wonder the win stuck in your memory!

One thing about Randwick in those days Summer Regent was the famous rise was so prominent just beyond the furlong pole and nobody rode that rise like George, he was freakish, no wonder the UK held no terrors for him, but I digress. |

Chantal won four on the trot in Sydney all over a mile, all by a space, but was scratched from the Caulfield Cup when connections objected to the 7lb penalty. Instead she ran in the Caulfield Stakes on the Wednesday between Guineas and Cup day but it was a slowly run affair and Winfreux had them all covered.
Winfreux was ridden by Jim Jonston and it was noted that Johnston had won all 6 WFA races run in Melbourne that Spring. He rode Tobin Bronze to win the Cox Plate to make it seven, and again to win the Mackinnon to make it 8 ! Then he won the Linlithgow on Oaks day on Legal Boy to make it 9 from 9. His amazing run came to an end in the CB Fisher Plate when John Miller rode Galilee to beat Tobin Bronze by 2½ lengths. In the following race Chantal was fourth behind Storm Queen in the George Adams Hcp.

A nice table there, Tonto. It reinforces how good Surround was.
Here's a few other good mares and fillies in reverse chronological
order: Northwood Plume (1991) won 3 G1s all against her own sex and
age group. She won 9 of 18 starts. Maidenhead (1956) was a curiously named mare which won 9 of
30 starts. She was a great wet-tracker pretty useless on anything firm, but she
won the Sydney Cup, the Chipping Norton and the BMW as well as the Chelmsford
Stakes. Hardly a champion, but not a bad record. Tarien (1948) more famous for her positive swab and subsequent DQ after winning the 1953 Doncaster. She also won the Ranvet, Warwick Stakes, George Main and Craven Plate amongst her 12 wins from 40 starts according to Go to Whoa. She also won a race in England. De La Salle (1944) was a NSW country performer which came
out of nowhere to strike a rich vein of form in 1948 winning the George Main,
the Epsom and the Caulfield Stakes. She won 16 from 35 starts and is covered in
the book, Go to Whoa. Amiable (1934) was another mare covered in Go to Whoa. She won 12 of her 86 starts
in a far-too-long-extended career. Her biggest win was over High Caste and Ajax
in the 1940 C.M. Lloyd Stakes where she set the Flemington mile record of 1min
34.75 seconds which lasted until metric conversion. She also won the William
Reid Stakes. Gay Blonde (1931) was another which was named in different
times. She was a NZ champion which came across to Australia and won the George
Ryder, the Mackinnon Stakes and the Craven Plate in 1936 amongst her 4
Australian wins. Her NZ record was 13 wins from 25 starts. Sarcherie (1930) was placed 3 times in the Melbourne Cup
from 4 starts. Her two G1s were the Ranvet and the Doncaster carrying 55.5. Maple (1923) came out of WA where she won many good races
including the Derby before her victory in the 1928 Caulfield Cup, one of 13.5
wins. Anna Carlovna (1909) was a NZ mare which won the Caulfield
Stakes and Melbourne Stakes as well as 2 Eclipse Stakes amongst her 5
Australian wins from 15 starts. Her opposition wasn’t great though. Calumny (1869) was an exact contemporary of Lurline and was almost
of the same class, winning the NZ Derby and 6 in a row in Australia, including
the Newmarket in 1875, before Lurline hit form. |

Hello,
many thanks for4 the list of '100 Greatest Female Racehorse' in AUS. Here in Germany we can't come with such a long list, because our population was always smaller than in AUS. Nevertheless you are interested to read the female strainn of "Ripa" found the way back to European shores via the U.S. Her name is Varimona (by Areion), her 5th dam is "Ripa", she was only a mediocre handicapper and meanwhile she is a broodmare with so far 3 foals. regards, Ticino |

Under southern skies where the gum trees sway, Cheers rise from tracks on Derby Day— Legends thunder down the sunbaked loam, Four queens of racing, galloping home. First, Makybe Diva, heart of a nation, Charging thrice to Melbourne Cup ovation. With iron will and a burst of final power, She carved her name on the Cup’s tall tower. Then Black Caviar, shadowless, fleet, Never beaten, pure poetry at full heat. Six-and-twenty runs, each one a delight, Lightning in silk, black and shining bright. Winx, the wonder, danced on the sod, Thirty-three straight—her stride a nod To gods of speed and courage undimmed, The crowd in awe, the horizon brimmed. Now enters Ttreasurethe Moment, all sparkle and stride, The new girl on the block, with stardust in her hide. She dreams in the paddock, she blazes on grass, A future immortal, racing first class. So here’s to the fillies, the mares of renown, (c) etc T2 Edited by Take2 - 02 Sep 2025 at 12:56pm |
