He certainly didn’t look happy, hanging all the way down that straight. They have some serious thinking to do now. Short racing career my guess.

Winx not traveling is the greatest travesty to world racing - and that question mark will always be there. The eye suggests she would have beaten global fields regardless, but it's a case of what if. Black Caviar won by a nose at Royal Ascot, in which much lesser sprinters have done the same by more impressive margins. Winx is probably the better horse because they didn't move horses' barrier draws like they did when Black Caviar raced. In saying that, most fields Winx defeated once she got to elite status were close to awful for G1 level. -
Does anyone know what ratings they had at the end of their careers?

Black Caviar and Winx: Two Legends that can't be split Winx (left) and Black Caviar will later this year together be elevated to Legend status in the Australian Racing Hall Of Fame. By Ray Thomas 08:10am • 24 June 2025 Winx or Black Caviar? Who was the greatest? The mighty mares were both freakish champions and trying to determine who is the best is the subject of robust debate. There is a school of thought that comparing champions of different eras is a futile exercise but racing – and other sports – is built on comparisons. We all like to consider how Phar Lap would have gone against today's champions. Or, who is the best racehorse, Secretariat or Frankel? It's the same in other sports. In cricket, we are forever comparing the records of modern day batters like Steve Smith to the legendary Sir Donald Bradman. In rugby league, is Wally Lewis better than Andrew Johns? Is Reg Gasnier or John Raper the best of them all?View All It's the same with AFL. There's plenty in Leigh Matthews' corner, Gary Ablett Senior is in the conversation, as are Ted Whitten, John Coleman and Tony Lockett. There are always comparisons between Michael Jordan or LeBron James as the best basketballer, and does any boxer challenge Muhammad Ali as the greatest of all-time? In tennis, there is ongoing debate about the best player of the modern era – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic? And how do they rate against the only man to win the Grand Slam twice, Rod Laver? The point is comparing champion racehorses is like debating the greats of other sports – it's a fun exercise and we all do it. But when analysing the race careers of Winx and Black Caviar, how do you split them? The amazing records of legends of the turf Black Caviar and Winx. This was the dilemma facing the Australian Racing Hall of Fame selection committee when determining which of these two mares would be elevated to "Legend" status at the Hall of Fame-Racehorse of the Year awards in Brisbane on August 31. There are only three racehorses elevated to the Legend category so far – Phar Lap, Carbine and Makybe Diva – and it is the most elite honour in Australian racing. Winx and Black Caviar are both deserving of "Legend'' status, it was just a matter of when. And trying to decide who would go in first was like asking which mare would win if they clashed over 1400m at weight-for-age? In the end, the selection panel simply couldn't split them and made the unprecedented but sensible call to elevate both Winx and Black Caviar to "Legend" status the same year. "It is fitting Black Caviar and Winx are going in as a ‘Legend' together,'' said Peter Moody, trainer of Black Caviar. "They are both great mares and it was only a matter of time, with all due respect, they were both going to get that honour and very deservedly so.'' Hall of Fame chairman Jason Scott echoed the sentiments of the entire selection panel when he said: "Debate has raged for years over which of the two champion mares is the greatest we've seen, however what is certain is that their legacies transcend far beyond the boundaries of racing. "It's deserving that they both be bestowed ‘Legend' status in the Australian Racing Hall of Fame together, befitting of their stature as two of the best we have and will ever have the (good) fortune to see". Winx won 37 of her 43 races, including her last 33 races in succession, featuring a world record 25 at Group 1 level. She was so good they made a movie about her. "I always admired Winx's determination and the uncomplicated way she went about her work and racing,'' Waller said. "She didn't require any extra fuss. "She was a high performance athlete with an amazing amount of talent, and she captured the imagination. "When I talk to people about Winx, there's nothing but ultimate respect for her. It is fitting she has been elevated to ‘Legend' status.'' Black Caviar was simply unbeatable. 25 starts, 25 wins, 15 at Group 1 level. Surely there has never been a better sprinter than this magnificent mare. She won most of her races effortlessly, running fast times and breaking the hearts of her chasing rivals. Even when she wasn't at her absolute best, like the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot, they still couldn't beat her. "Black Caviar changed my life,'' Moody said. "Every day, I still think about her and then when Royal Ascot comes each year around you relive those great memories again. She was a once-in-a-lifetime horse.'' -

You must be apoplectic when you see your beloved cable news station failing because espousing 💩 that you believe is gospel. Wake up before it's too late HOKEY.

Not so much now. The money is good here for 2yo and 3yo classics. I admit once they have proved themselves here there is a desire to get Aus black type for stock that can breed say 4yo and up.
