    Winx and the great mare Zenyatta from the US have the same sire, Street Cry. Both were come from behind horses. laying back and zooming past the field in the stretch. Zenyatta won her first 19 races of her career, certainly nothing like 33 in a row. And in the US, mares usually dont race against the male horses like in Australia. Zenyatta however, did win the Breeders Cup against the boys and lost her last race, #20, in the Breeders cup...by a nose. She had these huge bounding strides, she was as big as most male horses and could catch up with a couple of long strides. However, after watching Winx, she takes so many strides compared to other horses, I am not sure Zenyatta could have caught her. Just cant argue with 33 races in a row. But I do find it interesting that the two greatest female horses in the world come from the same sire.

      He ran in 5 group one races in England and DID NOT RUN A PLACE in five tries.

      From 2015-2019 Australia and NZ could not produce one worthy opponent for her.

Won the the 1932 Agua Caliente, World's richest race. 7 race meeting, broke the track record on 1st run on dirt. Still in his winter coat. Was nearly lame prior, bleeding split hoof. Ran a 2 furlong section in a blistering 22 seconds. Ran distances from 1,400 metres to 3,200 metres. This champion should never be overlooked or forgotten. His record is incredible. Won 37/41 at his peak, 2x 2nds by less than a neck, a 3rd & unplaced once, weighted out of the 1931 Melbourne Cup, 68kgs. Like Winx carrying well over 75kgs.

    I always thought Winx's greatest performance, by my eye, was the 2018 Turnbull win 8 lengths behind at the 300 and with a wall of horses in front of her I remember turning to my partner and saying "she can't win from there".
    She won by a length pulling away.
    I recently stumbled on this.....
    Her stride average is 23 to 23.5 feet, which is moderate, but in the Warwick Stakes, where she broke slowly, as she would do on occasion, Winx got out to 24.58 feet, which is a full foot longer than her average stride length.
    Her cadence is 2.63 strides per second. By contrast, Ulysses, in winning the G1 Juddmonte International at York in 2018, had a stride length of 23.16 and a cadence of 2.53 strides per second. Top European sprinter Harry Angel recorded the same figures in one major win.
    Winx could do better than both of these outstanding horses, and at the latter stages of a race.
    Physicist Dr Graeme Putt, from the University of Auckland, said Winx had been known to put in 2.7 strides per second, compared to the average of 2.3 for other horses. Practically, what this means is that, per minute, Winx could move 170 lengths compared to 140 by most other horses.
    She could not only lengthen her stride when she needed to, but quicken it, which was responsible for her devastating turn of foot and why she could close late in a race so easily.
    While track comparisons are certainly not determinative, in the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Mile, won by Expert Eye, the pace was 24.68 and 49.85 early, with 24.80 for the final furlong, but Winx had run faster - in her 2018 Chipping Norton, for instance, after an early pace of 24.87 and 48.83, she ran 23.14 for the final two furlongs.
    In 2017 and 2018, Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner Roy H came home in times of 12.05 and 12.43, and 2017 BC Turf Sprint winner Stormy Liberal in a time of 11.55 for the final furlong.
    Australian superstar sprinter Chautauqua’s best final furlong time in 2016 was 11.5.
    Winx’s average final-furlong time in seven-furlong races of 11.1 is faster than all their times, and she has run up to a half-second faster (10.6) than her average - in the 2018 Turnbull Stakes
    Says it all.

At his peak, won 37/41, with 2x 2nds (a nose & half neck, a 3rd & once unplaced, 68kgs 1931 Melbourne Cup, around 13kg above weight for age. Ran 3rd as a 3yo in the 1929 Melbourne Cup, the jockey fought with him in the straight & punters lost £1 million pounds under great suspicion. The horse that "beat him, he raced 4 times the following season & won all 4. Won the 1930 Melbourne Cup with the 2nd heaviest weight ever, 62.5kgs. Weighted out of it in 1931, the only horse ever to carry a record weight of 68kgs. Led into the straight, before finishing 8th. The "Winner," White Nose carried 43.50kgs! Be like Winx carrying 76.5-78.5kgs.
      Travelled by boat to US/Mexico, when arrived was almost lame. Virtually no preparation & raced in his winter coat. Profusely bleeding split hoof, started last, ran around the field up before the turn, had a rest, then kicked on when challenged. Ran 2 furlongs in a blistering 22 seconds. 7 races held at the Agua Caliente race meet & this Australian horse broke the track record, 1st run on dirt, albeit injured. Still equal 1st, 89 years after sadly passing at just 5 1/2yo. Ran distances from 1400 metres to 3200 metres & usually fields of 15 horses, not 7. Still the only horse to win all 4 Flemington races including the Melbourne Cup in the same week. Still the greatest.

    Most watched video. I grew up in the 1980's; a Phar Lap fan, and I never thought I'd see anything like him. It always seemed so crazy that you'd worry about her losing; absurd to think she could be capable of defeat. I started going out to TAB's to watch her live, the vibe was electric. My favourite memory was sitting in there, after she'd again made mincemeat of her rivals, and someone loudly proclaimed "how good was that!" I turned around and it was the TAB chick sitting with us, because operations had ceased for the race.

      You sort of have. Phar Lap won from 1400 metrea to 3200 metres, with up to 15 horses in a race, not 7. Still equal 1st with 27 Groups 1 wins. A world race win in 1932, dirt track record whilst injured with a bleeding split hoof. A 1930 Melbourne Cup win carrying 62.5kgs. 1931 led into the straight, finished 8th, carrying the heaviest weight ever, 68kgs. No other horse has attempted it. Winner, White Nose carried just 43.50kgs. Be like Winx carrying 76-78.5kgs in a sprint. Both champions, but Phar Lap ran longer distances, carried monumental weights, was shot at, held back in races & achieved more in his 5 1/2 years, with his peak still ahead of him & unfulfilled. He won 37/41 at his peak. 2x 2nds, a nose & a half neck returning from injury, a 3rd & unplaced when weighted out of the 1931 Melbourne Cup. He was a tier above.

    I think Hugh Bowman said it best: "Really great race horses can sustain their best closing run for 200-300 meters." Bowman said "Winx could sustain her run for 600-700 meters if necessary." The first race in this video shows this type of run from dead last. This is basic math and riding skills... for a superb specimen. In her 17th Group I victory, she sustained her run for 400 meters. In her 2nd Queen Elizabeth, she did this again. In her 26th straight victory at Randwick, she did it again (400 meters). In every one of her victories, her sustained closing run was at least 260-300 meters. Winning 33 straight times is... just ridiculous.
