Thank you for mentioning Beauty Generation！ His Legacy is unable to be copied by anyone (he is the only gelding in this list)， even as strong as Golden Sixty is one step away.
forgot one Legendary name !? that made a record that will never ever be broken !!! by winning 3 Melbourne Cups in a row !!!? The GREAT !! " Makybe Diva" !!
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.
The thing people don't realise with Winx, is that she could win on any surface, win in all different states eg Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney. And do all this while breaking track record times. 100% should be top 5...
@@masteryoda4073 You are so right. I think regardless of what the topic is, songs, horses, movies etc. ratings of best ever are a total load of garbage as they are based on personal opinion and are never ever correct. Winx was a great horse, as was Black Caviar and they beat the very best horses in Australia, but what great horses did they really beat. Once again this is up for argument
@@johncrane2935 Winx beat , Highland Reel by 5 lengths, Olmedo by 10 lengths and everything else in a canter broke rack records , ran G1 sprinters sectionals over a mile and 10 furlongs. Black Caviar was unbeatable beat Buffering ( later as an 8 year old international winner) by 6 lengths as did Hay List . Same with international winner Ortensia , Australia dominates world sprints . The ratings are heavily biased to Northern Hemisphere for a rule of thumb add 7 to Australian rankings .
I tend to agree... had had it all... but do you think he woild have destroyed Frankel's Juddmonte rivals the way Frankel did? He always looked like he switched off when he got to the lead... so his wins weren't as visually impressive. A rare talent rhough, for sure
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.
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.
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.
@@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 .
@@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
@@elgransenor1472 From memory that year the King Stand a few days earlier was a bog track ? It improved a bit on the Saturday. She handled soft tracks in Australia but as you said soft Australia isn’t like soft UK . By the way what did you think of the So You Think / USA coincidence that I posted ?
@@mikeharrington5593 It pains me to agree with this. Arrogate was also trained by Bob Baffert. And, of course, every North American horse runs on Lasix.
Jaya Bae entered the Breeders with only two lifetime starts yesterday at the Big M The Meadowlands. She's just warming up for the $600,000 final this Friday. The entire world is talking about Jaya Bae and its been a long, long time since a horse has been named Sports Illustrated athlete of the year. Without a doubt the best bred trotter in history.
She's Australian though. They're not generally given the credit they deserve on the world stage. Only have to look at how many times European Horses have tried and failed to win the Melbourne Cup to realise how good Australian horses are though. The overseas Trainers always then come up with some lame excuse as to why they weren't good enough.
That 2016 Chairman's Sprint in HK was amazing. Not sure even Black Caviar wins that race if she misses the start by as far as Chautauqa did. Shame how he cut his own career short.

Hmmm. Never won a race in a country where anti doping tests are rigorously enforced. And strangely died of “grass sickness” in a country that has no grass. Odd that.
@@lulabellegnostic8402 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the UK strictly anti-doping? Dubai Millennium ran a monster performance there in the Prince of Wales Stakes.
@@lulabellegnostic8402 Yes!... You are most definitely wrong!. Dubai Millennium won group 1 races in England & France. Those two countries have have rigorous drug testing. He was standing at stud in England (Dalham Hall) when he got his grass sickness.
Canford Cliffs was one of my favourite horses but he was absolutely broken by Frankel at Goodwood, a stunning performance. He was a complete freak and we may well never see another like him.
@justthetruth1 people forget about Excellebration who for my money was a real specialist 7f horse. Frankel done him twice over that distance. If there was no Frankel we would've talked about Excellebration far more than he's mentioned now.
CC was such a good miler himself. When Frankel went through the gears in last furlong at Goodwood and CC hung all the way over the track it was sad cos at that moment we were watching a horse who was switched on enough to know it had to put more in to get at Frankel. But in doing so ran ragged and hung very tired. He was a 120+ rated horse made to look like a handicapper
And no mention of one of the all time greats, the filly Zarkava. !!!!!!! She retired the year they entered Sea the Stars in the Prix de L'arc De Triomphe in 2009 . Zarkava won the Prix De L'Arc in 2008 and everyone was hoping she'd take on Sea the Stars who went on to win the race in 2009 , but connections retired her and put her into stud. What a clash that would have been . Zarkava took on all Stallions in group ones and beat them all.
finalmente alguien menciono la gran Zarkava, felicitaciones. Aqui en America del Sur hemos tenido 3 grandes caballos, Invasor, Gloria de Campeao y Hi Happy ( no se adapto al hemisferio norte) quien hizo 2400 metros en 2.24 en su ultima prueba de la triple corona de Argentina.
One of my regrets was that Zenyatta never faced the imposing Rachel Alexandra who was entered and defeated the males in one leg of the triple crown one year.
@@jasonemre8058 which was indeed a phenomenal performance. I think the Sussex Stakes was a waste... he should have gone Queen Anne, Coral Eclipse, Juddmonte, Longchamps
Really enjoyed this film...what a brute Frankel was...Dubai Millenium superb...fabulous race Arrogate and California Chrome ...also Enable and Crystal Ocean...about Black Caviar, I don't rate sprinters as highly as distance horses, but have always thought she could have won a Cox Plate if trained for it. She looked pretty strong at the end of 1400m at her only attempt.
I agree... I think she was most likely the greatest miler that's ever raced in Australia... had it not been for a. her unbeaten status and b. the fact that she had already experienced 2 potentially career ending injuries by her 5 race start...
The fastest & best performing horse to ever race in Australia & New Zealand was GLOAMING. His record is 67 starts for 57 wins & 9 seconds. The sole unplaced was when he fell a second after the start. And he still holds the 4 furlong(800m) record of 45 seconds.
Jesus you bring up a horse that ran over a " 100 YEARS AGO " in New Zealand & Australia breaking many records BUT again only in New Zealand & Australia beating what especially back then, even 16 years or so before the great Pharlap. I'll hand it to you friend, you Australians are proud horsemen👍
@@thrusta100 She wasn't at the end at all the first two times he beat her.. she was a 6yr old and still at or close to her best.. Sunline won 4 group 1's that season and ran 2nd in the Cox plate... so yeah.. and Northerly never went OS so it didn't win any.. bit of a silly argument though.. i mean i could ask how many Caulfield Cups Sunline won? but what's that gonna prove.. Trevor Mckee said it himself and tipped his hat to Northerly saying he beat Sunline 3-0 on her favourite track
@@hankmoodiness7941 Rachel Alexandra was the greatest dirt filly to ever race her 3 yo season. Any list that doesn’t have Ghostzapper and American Pharoah and has Arrogate on it cannot be taken seriously.
@@silvereyedstacker1842 couldn’t agree more, I put Rachel right with Zen. If not better. I get trashed for saying it but people get enamored with the record and don’t take everything into consideration. Leaving the last 3 off you mentioned is moronic.
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.
These types of lists really depend on what you value. The video maker definitely loves long turf races. If I made a list I doubt even 4 turf horses would be on it. And I think i'd have Gun Runner, American Pharaoh California Chrome on there somewhere
That's because you Americans are ignorant and self absorbed. There is great racing all around the world on TURF; and not on dirt. Horses from Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan. If anything, the Japanese and European champions are under represented in this Top 10.
American Pharaoh is Mr Prospector bloodline just like the majority of these horses in this video. I'm a pedigree buff. You have to understand what you're seeing. Go look up Mr. Prospector's wiki page and scroll down to stakes and triple crown influence.
@@abbenburnner4844 To be fair, most lists and videos in general focus almost entirely on American horses that are better on dirt than they are on turf, so this was just a different type of list.
Agree. She whipped the girls and boys. She should have won the classic again in 2010 but Mike smith got her going too late Rachel Alexandra should be in this list too
Zenyatta was the best horse ever Secretariat on Michael Jordan for sure but Zenyatta she was the queen of the Nile the king of the jungle Godzilla Frankenstein and Cinderella all rolled into one to me she’s the greatest was male or female ever sorry Secretaria no offense meant
I see what you’re saying...... but you’re wrong....... 😂😂 I’m kidding I’m kidding. I agree. To me if Black Caviar as a sprinter isn’t considered on the same level as Frankel as a miler then what sprinter ever will be 🤷♂️🤷♂️ simply the fastest sprinter ever I believe and Sea The Stars also to think maybe we didn’t see the best of him is ridiculous. I think as an older horse he would have muscled up and just been like nothing we’ve seen
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.
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
@@narrowistheway77 Frankel currently stands at £275.000. that's over 350.000 US. So far he has sired 31 group 1 winners, including 9 group 1 winners so far in 2023. and 9 group 1 winners in 2022. His 2022 yearling average was £600.000 plus he is the fastest in history to reach 100 group race winners. his stud fee is rising fast every year and with his yearlings prices rising so fast it's probably going to be half a million US dollars soon.
Actually passionate and excited about racing. Watch Ric McIntosh call the Warrannambool Cup. "Seriously... HOW BLOODY GOOD IS THE 'BOOL!" Great callers, except Olzanski.
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.
Horse opinions aside, surely this video proves Australian race tracks reign supreme. Do Australian tracks get more attention than others? I suspect the detrimental climate requires it.
@@ebbets1965 Frankel is sooo over rated. He beat the same horses over and over again. He didn't go over 2400m. Where's the Arch form? Oh that's right he didn't race in that one. Good horse but not great
I wonder how many of these horses won 25 group one races like Winx?? I firmly believe Winx would have given Frankel the race of his life. Being number 7 is a bit of a joke!
Don't be ridiculous, she wouldn't have beaten some of the horses Frankel left in his wake, Canford Cliffs, Cirus De Anglis, St Nichols Abbey, Nathaniel, Excellebration - its a bit of a joke she made the list TBH.
@@mylesohagan2779 obviously stuck in a English fairyland. Other countries also have talented horses. Won 25 group one races and not once did a horse even come close to beating her. But I suppose you will say she was just lucky.
@@dommcrobert6673 half the horses I mentioned are not English, some of them also won G1s all over the world, there is no doubt Winx was a class filly but the fact remains she never competed against the very top horses of her generation so she shouldn't be classed as a global great, never mind being mentioned in the same breath as Frankel. Look at Love, beat everything she raced against out of sight last year, opened this year winng a G1 by beating a breeders cup winner, but when she took on the real top class horses she was found out, I suspect Winx would also have been found out against the very best European horses of her generation.
@@mylesohagan2779 It obvious you don't understand Australian racing. We have had group one winners from England and France come over here to compete in our big races. None of them even came close to beating Winx. Local people urge owners to take the horse to England but because she was a poor traveller she never went. Just because she had no opportunity to compete against the best, does not mean she was just a local donkey. She is the best I have seen and I have followed racing for 40 plus years.
@@dommcrobert6673 come on, the best we sent over to face Winx was Highland Reel, a decent G1 horse in Europe, but who was a long way short of the best horses in Europe at the time, Hartnell was highly tried in the UK but couldn't land a G3, Benbatl has never won a G1 in Europe, more recently, we've sent over bang average horses who were getting hammered in G1/G2 races to take Australias big prizes, Sir Dragonet and Anthony Van Dycke, Addyeb is top horse on heavy ground, but again, has been out of sight on many occasions by Europes top horses - the standard in Aus is simply not anywhere near Irish/UK/French standard so Winx's record needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, and given the form lines it is ridiculous to suggest she'd have got anywhere near Frankel.
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.
@@al1979rocker Peter Moody Said Frankel was the best In a YT Vid Here, from 35secs into the vid😉 ruclips.net/video/VKQ4xTCTDtE/видео.html Also this quote from the "Black Caviar" Book. Foreword by P.M. ,Quote " I’ve been around horses all my life and never known one better than Black Caviar. I find judging her place in the history of racing hard. I’m so close to her. 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" 🙂
The title said 21st century.. also I guess Sea Biscuit is the best ever simply because.. he is not supposed to be a racehorse.But instead beat a Triple Crown Champ in War Admiral.How about that? 🇵🇭
Sorry I need to concentrate more, just loved Secretariat, one of my favourite horses I read and watch videos, film, etc about was Pharlap. Some time ago though.
@@markshepherd7367 No worries man.. it is just a honest mistake from you.Everybody does it.. also me.

Agree that these top 10s purely based on opinion. We can all agree they are top horses and we'll all have our favourites. One horse no one has mentioned is Lys Gracieux. Won the Takarazuka Kinen in July 2019, then was absolutely dominant in Cox Plate and finally won Arima Kinen by 5 lengths. Wowee!
5 Lengths! I love it when horses run like that. I wish all the people who say horse racing is cruel could see some of these winners. Yes, maybe it is cruel sometimes, wherever humans go there is sure to be corruption and greed. But when you see an awesome racer, you know horses run because they love it too. 💗
I'd forgotten to some extent how good Dubai Millenium's race in the Dubai Cup was. An absolute monster episode. A well earned number two placing on this list. Sadly, no footage of Sea the Stars.
I’ll go along with the 1,2 and 3 but I’m not having the others. Galileo, Hawkwing, Battash are just 3 without having to think about it. Zenyatta is fair enough as well. I’ve just thought of another one. Kingman.
Deep Impact's best performance is in Tennou-sho (Spring); do you know a racehorse that runs the last 800m of 3200m in 44.8 seconds? He is the one and only who can do it.
Well, looking at the indiscriminate use of the whip by his jockey.... just count the hits in the race shown here alone. In Europe you'd be disqualified and heavily fined for this. He even used it on both sides. Bad form.
@@bernhardlangers778 The jokey ,Yutaka Take , used his whip to make Deep Impact pay attention to run straight. Then he showed Deep whip motion as if he would hit Deep. So he didn’t actually use his whip to hit but first one. I’m studying English , so please forgive my poor English.
Pharoah maybe, Arrogate was far better than CC and deservedly got mention. Chataqua was an enigma, spectacular yes, but top 10? Strad a legend, no harm done in anyone's top 10. Ghaiyyath trailblazer but not better than No.10 in the list, Enable. Battasash lost to Blue Point at his peak, every time at Ascot.
Not totally surprised by the list as it weighs in on a lot of international racehorses. But a little miffed for a lack of love for American Pharoah. Maybe because he was just a 3 yr old as he ended his career. Well, hopefully they think of him at #11 if not in the top ten.
You could jumble the positions around from 2 to 10, but only one horse can be number 1......FRANKEL!. He would destroy all of these from 8 to 10 furlongs. He had an amazing cruising speed. Some of these have earned the "great racehorse" tag, but have not nearly enough in their armour to have troubled Frankel.
@@larking13 I really find it hard to take American racing seriously. Your horses, racetracks, and trainers are inferior to Europe. Your jockeys are no better or worse than ours.
Winx was the best horse I have seen in my life. Winning 25 Group 1's from 1400 to 2200 meters and the discrepancy between Frankel's ratings to Winx is an absolute joke.
@@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.
Wynx deserves better than 7th, half of them included show how dire this century has been for real quality, not sure Frankel should be number one, personally I think Wynx should be there.

It's very hard to compare across continents. I was also not sure about Arrogate. At his best he was one of the best, but he became nothing after running in the Middle East, not the only horse whose form badly regressed upon returning to North America (not sure how European horses who travelled there did when they came back).
Indeed, top two horses so far have definitely been Frankel and American Pharoah. Both would be canon fodder for the all time GOAT Secretariat (Beyers 139, unofficial Timeform 153), but at least he might notice they were there for a moment or two.
American horses full of Drugs .. BB proved that … unfortunately US horses can only win on dirt they don’t seem to do so well on turf that’s why you don’t see them in Europe ,Australia or Japan
@@deanwatson1430 US horses barely run on turf. The issue they have historically is dealing not so much with turf but with undulating turf, i.e. the jockeys don't have experience in letting their horses run down slopes which part explains previous poor USA performance at The Arc. Having said that the GOAT Secretariat had no problem adapting to turf, setting track record and winning margin records that still stand today in North America's then top two turf races against older horses. Dirt accentuates endurance and hence leaner horse like Kelso tend to have an edge there. Muscular horses like Secretariat are actually better adapted to turf which accentuates speed more.
@@connorduke4619 that’s exactly the point , when US have to clutch at a horse from 50 years ago 😬 as only horse to adapt to turf that kinda tells the exact point I’m making. Breeders cup is mainly dirt and attracts world horses merely for money. Quite often European / Aus or Japanese horses win the turf races. What’s also interesting is US horses when they go to the World Cup in Dubai (on dirt) rarely do well only a couple of exceptions but with all the doping and drugs in US horse racing it’s hardly surprising. Rules around drugs in horses much stricter than in the US which is reason why they don’t run anywhere else. Won’t be long before US horses banned from running anywhere else because of the huge drug problem … you only have to ask trainers (who left the US) how bad it actually is !!

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.
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.
@@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 .
@@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
@@elgransenor1472 From memory that year the King Stand a few days earlier was a bog track ? It improved a bit on the Saturday. She handled soft tracks in Australia but as you said soft Australia isn’t like soft UK .

@@mikeharrington5593 It pains me to agree with this. Arrogate was also trained by Bob Baffert. And, of course, every North American horse runs on Lasix.
Jaya Bae entered the Breeders with only two lifetime starts yesterday at the Big M The Meadowlands. She's just warming up for the $600,000 final this Friday.

@@melissa007ish not Runhappy
I've been following horse racing worldwide for over 30 years and no doubt it's Winx.
She's Australian though. They're not generally given the credit they deserve on the world stage. Only have to look at how many times European Horses have tried and failed to win the Melbourne Cup to realise how good Australian horses are though. The overseas Trainers always then come up with some lame excuse as to why they weren't good enough.
Secretariat.....would eat them all.
Makybe Diva is 10x the horse Winx is.
I also think winx was a truly exceptional horse
Honourable mention Chautauqua, my favourite, watch her race in Hong Kong, says it all
That 2016 Chairman's Sprint in HK was amazing. Not sure even Black Caviar wins that race if she misses the start by as far as Chautauqa did. Shame how he cut his own career short.

@@davidmcmahon5234Sea the stars best middle distance horse of this generation. Frankel best 7f to miler. Stars winning the Arc was incredible
@justthetruth1 people forget about Excellebration who for my money was a real specialist 7f horse. Frankel done him twice over that distance. If there was no Frankel we would've talked about Excellebration far more than he's mentioned now.
CC was such a good miler himself. When Frankel went through the gears in last furlong at Goodwood and CC hung all the way over the track it was sad cos at that moment we were watching a horse who was switched on enough to know it had to put more in to get at Frankel. But in doing so ran ragged and hung very tired. He was a 120+ rated horse made to look like a handicapper
American Pharoah & California Chrome are worthy.

Zarkava won the Prix De L'Arc in 2008 and everyone was hoping she'd take on Sea the Stars who went on to win the race in 2009 , but connections retired her and put her into stud.

So interesting that Winx and Zenyatta both had Street Cry as their sire.

Really enjoyed this film...what a brute Frankel was...Dubai Millenium superb...fabulous race Arrogate and California Chrome ...also Enable and Crystal Ocean...about Black Caviar, I don't rate sprinters as highly as distance horses, but have always thought she could have won a Cox Plate if trained for it. She looked pretty strong at the end of 1400m at her only attempt.
I agree... I think she was most likely the greatest miler that's ever raced in Australia... had it not been for a. her unbeaten status and b. the fact that she had already experienced 2 potentially career ending injuries by her 5 race start...
Wow . . .so really great horses and super amazing. . .

The fastest & best performing horse to ever race in Australia & New Zealand was GLOAMING.
His record is 67 starts for 57 wins & 9 seconds. The sole unplaced was when he fell a second after the start.
And he still holds the 4 furlong(800m) record of 45 seconds.

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.

These types of lists really depend on what you value. The video maker definitely loves long turf races. If I made a list I doubt even 4 turf horses would be on it. And I think i'd have Gun Runner, American Pharaoh California Chrome on there somewhere
That's because you Americans are ignorant and self absorbed. There is great racing all around the world on TURF; and not on dirt. Horses from Great Britain, Ireland, France, Germany, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Japan. If anything, the Japanese and European champions are under represented in this Top 10.

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.
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

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.
Horse opinions aside, surely this video proves Australian race tracks reign supreme. Do Australian tracks get more attention than others? I suspect the detrimental climate requires it.

Look at Love, beat everything she raced against out of sight last year, opened this year winng a G1 by beating a breeders cup winner, but when she took on the real top class horses she was found out, I suspect Winx would also have been found out against the very best European horses of her generation.
@@mylesohagan2779 It obvious you don't understand Australian racing. We have had group one winners from England and France come over here to compete in our big races. None of them even came close to beating Winx. Local people urge owners to take the horse to England but because she was a poor traveller she never went. Just because she had no opportunity to compete against the best, does not mean she was just a local donkey. She is the best I have seen and I have followed racing for 40 plus years.
@@dommcrobert6673 come on, the best we sent over to face Winx was Highland Reel, a decent G1 horse in Europe, but who was a long way short of the best horses in Europe at the time, Hartnell was highly tried in the UK but couldn't land a G3, Benbatl has never won a G1 in Europe, more recently, we've sent over bang average horses who were getting hammered in G1/G2 races to take Australias big prizes, Sir Dragonet and Anthony Van Dycke, Addyeb is top horse on heavy ground, but again, has been out of sight on many occasions by Europes top horses - the standard in Aus is simply not anywhere near Irish/UK/French standard so Winx's record needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, and given the form lines it is ridiculous to suggest she'd have got anywhere near Frankel.
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.

@@larking13 I really find it hard to take American racing seriously. Your horses, racetracks, and trainers are inferior to Europe. Your jockeys are no better or worse than ours.
Winx was the best horse I have seen in my life.
Winning 25 Group 1's from 1400 to 2200 meters and the discrepancy between Frankel's ratings to Winx is an absolute joke.
How would you compare Secretariat to Frankel?
@@Durga-ma Secretariat was a dirt horse, Frankel was a turf horse.
Wow great
Zenyatta is the best closer to ever grace a track, *** ever.
Obviously never seen chautauqua
@@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.
@@TeQzElementzz Chautauqua is a nobody, really. A mid-level horse compared to Zenyatta.
Wynx deserves better than 7th, half of them included show how dire this century has been for real quality, not sure Frankel should be number one, personally I think Wynx should be there.
I can't believe i've just watched this list without Makybe Diva, a horse that literally won the Melbourne Cup 3 times in a row... 24 horse field, the best of the best internationally, and you just forget it? Come on bro...
I accidentally hit a 9k trifecta on the Makaybe Diva Stakes a few years ago,I couldn't agree more, definitely the best of the best🔥
The Melbourne cup is a handicap. The best thoroughbreds are a mile to a mile and a half at level weights.
@@leecook8818 but mate it’s a handicap where she had the most weight she carried 58kg in her third cup and it was about 10kg heavier than some of the bottom weights she’s a great shes a super star
@@leecook8818 Kiwi, Secretariat,Phar lap,Winx,those are the greatest horses in order,sunline an honorable omission
@@damageincorporated8558 the fact it's a handicap adds merit to 3 in a row. Each year she had to be handicapped more and still won with 58kg

How Enable was only rated 125 is beyond me. The same as Winx. She won two arcs! These vids should be done on ratings imo.
Enable was racing against poorer horses than Winx as the IFHA determined correctly. Winx was rated at 130 by same organization. When Enable won her second Arc and Breeders' Cup in the same year her rating did not move from 125!
@@peterkemp1973 poorer horses? Give your head a wobble. Oz racing is a class lower than over here. Always has been
@@peterkemp1973 racing against stablemate horses week in week out doesnt qualify as 'highly rated' horses buddy...for a horse who is the only in the world to win an arc and breeders cup in the same year should have a rating higher than 125

nice video
American Pharoah, the first US triple crown winner in 37 years, who also won the BCC, is not on this list? Hmmmm :/
It's very hard to compare across continents. I was also not sure about Arrogate. At his best he was one of the best, but he became nothing after running in the Middle East, not the only horse whose form badly regressed upon returning to North America (not sure how European horses who travelled there did when they came back).
Indeed, top two horses so far have definitely been Frankel and American Pharoah. Both would be canon fodder for the all time GOAT Secretariat (Beyers 139, unofficial Timeform 153), but at least he might notice they were there for a moment or two.
American horses full of Drugs .. BB proved that … unfortunately US horses can only win on dirt they don’t seem to do so well on turf that’s why you don’t see them in Europe ,Australia or Japan
@@deanwatson1430 US horses barely run on turf. The issue they have historically is dealing not so much with turf but with undulating turf, i.e. the jockeys don't have experience in letting their horses run down slopes which part explains previous poor USA performance at The Arc. Having said that the GOAT Secretariat had no problem adapting to turf, setting track record and winning margin records that still stand today in North America's then top two turf races against older horses. Dirt accentuates endurance and hence leaner horse like Kelso tend to have an edge there. Muscular horses like Secretariat are actually better adapted to turf which accentuates speed more.
@@connorduke4619 that’s exactly the point , when US have to clutch at a horse from 50 years ago 😬 as only horse to adapt to turf that kinda tells the exact point I’m making. Breeders cup is mainly dirt and attracts world horses merely for money. Quite often European / Aus or Japanese horses win the turf races. What’s also interesting is US horses when they go to the World Cup in Dubai (on dirt) rarely do well only a couple of exceptions but with all the doping and drugs in US horse racing it’s hardly surprising. Rules around drugs in horses much stricter than in the US which is reason why they don’t run anywhere else. Won’t be long before US horses banned from running anywhere else because of the huge drug problem … you only have to ask trainers (who left the US) how bad it actually is !!
Best horse by a mile here is WINX,it’s that simple.
Winx was a one trick pony! One surface, same rivals, consistent distances even weights! 4 time horse of the year in Austrailia! "Once there was a horse named Kelso, but only once"!!
