I hope that the connections of Winx realize how blessed they truly are.
T
Winx and Zenyatta’s Daddy was
StreetCry and both girls race
from last to first
really thought street cry was going to be a kentucky derby winner
Two of the best horses most people have ever seen (Winx and Zenyatta) were both sired by Street Cry
The fact that she beats everything Dubai throw at her tells you how good she is.
rosser man Still yet to come up against AOB yet.
Breadphones she can only beat what's put in front of her.
rosser man which isn’t very much. Humidity and Hartnell are handicappers
Brett Richards
Yeah, but Group One level in Australia!!!
Remind me again which Dubai horses she has beaten?
Fantastic, inspiring people. Winx is phenomenal.
I saw her yesterday. Amazing
Legend
That’s it! She is raced by owners who aren’t motivated by money and the money WINX earns for her owners goes to charity. The story of WINX is a testimony to LOVE
Shane Bellinger
Not intending to detract from how good that gesture is you do know these people were extremely wealthy before Winx came along?
What's your point? "not intending to detract....."
They are doing a good thing why, like in all your other negative posts on here, do you feel you need to point that out?
You must be a hoot at parties.
Dog OfKrondor
Because the original post says the owners are not motivated by money.
What, so they became extremely wealthy without caring about money and personal wealth?
Nobody else seems to care about their wealth except you.
that green monster is getting the better of you!
Dog OfKrondor
If you're too stupid to figure it out I don't have time to explain it to you.
Winx just loves to run and run and run.................
So pleased to hear them say money goes to charity.
Winx is TOPS!!!!
Jay Bee Hometown hero but not international. Not impressive enough
hahaahh your mad
They only love t winners!!!!
They only lhave time for t winners!!!! She will b looked after bcos she's worth her waight in gold!!! Other race horses are abused and not soo lucky they don't give to shits what happens to most end up in your dog food
Does the stake money go to charity or the money from the merchandise sold? That wasn't quite clear.
While she said that the film was showing Winx caps and posters and flags etc.
She is the best horse in the world. Unbeatable for years.
Winx is legend. She has gave me hope when i was finding it tough god i love her!
And hugie bowman is at great driving her 💕❤️❤️💕
Just magnificent the best I’ll see in my life time
Pure class!
Beautiful mare
She is the grastest of all Time ❤🐎
She definitely is like usain bolt
What she'll be worth as a Brood Mare is probably not possible to comprehend at this stage.
Almost forgot to ask. Where can l get a Winx hat. I live in Oklahoma and would love to fly her colors. Thanks
How's my old school OU doing? :-)
I love her I'm her biggest fan no one knows her more than me I have dreams about her I'm hugging her in my dreams and riding her
On her way to winning her 1st Cox plate I saw her win the epsom and knew then and there I’d seen the Cox plate winner probably the last time you got anything over 2/1 for her
Sorry l misspelled Wink-(Winx)
go winx
People getting so upset over horse racing, like wtf! Until all these horses race each other everyone is only guessing who would win. Everyone thinks their competition or horses are the best, everyone is bias. Just respect them for the Champions that they are
Freak amazing animal
Maybe diva queen
greatest ever
but the only drawback to her winstreak ...ther all in Australia..shes has not raced outside of Australia no races at the breeders cup …. in dubai...in great Britain ..just exclusively in Australia ….she had the opportunity during years 2014 thru 2018 and yes Australians to prove to the horse racing fans in the world that shes deserves that #1 ranking
shivers seeing her beat the likes of hartnell who shot thebarman and clapper??? you owners refused all invitations to race winx outside of australia and for good reason, she would have been found out maybe???
Gets beaten by enable
Enable is a draught horse in comparison.
@@sinagong69 get off that funny stuff
Two recent races in the UK have demonstrated quite clearly the difference between Winx's career and Enable's career.
The Eclipse where Enable beat Magical and the KGVI where Enable beat Crystal Ocean.
When Enable runs in a G1 there is always one or two genuinely, high class, consistent opponents.
Winx was a great horse and I think she'd beat Enable over 10f, especially on a flat track.
But the difference between their careers and legacies is what they race against.
Winx could run badly and her jockey could make huge mistakes and she'd still win because she was 8-10L better than her opposition every time. It made for boring racing which had to be artificially hyped up by the Australian media and race clubs.
Whereas Enable has to be near or close to her best and her jockey has to get it right every time because she runs against 1/2/3 genuinely high class opponents who will beat her if she gets it wrong.
Winx, Bowman and Waller never had to worry about that because Winx mostly ran against tree stumps.
Even Gosden stated that Enable would get beaten by Winx if they raced over 2000 metres in Australia. IFHA ratings for both horses confirm Gosden's viewpoint. You need some objective facts, pal!
Winx
WINXS...is appropriately named, "THE MIGHTY MARE"!!!
P.S. Does anyone know where I can get a WINXS HAT ??
AlphaOmegaStables check on EBay and type in Winx horse merch
Or you could try pathetic losers dot com.
W🍟NX
I just think of the show when I hear her name
Just me 😅
W🍟 N K S 1
3 (dislikes) people are a bit jealous.
Dog OfKrondor yeah
DogOfKrondor
How could there possibly be one dislike
The Aussies complain that our horses didn't go and challenge her, they constantly said bring your horses here to challenge her, the rest of the world should send their horses to Australia to take her on.
Waller uttered some glib line about there being plenty of planes to Australia.
Well England Ireland and Japan did!
Coolmore, Godolphin and others and Japanese stables all sent horses halfway around the world to race her.
About 8 or 10 horses from overseas did go out there and race her.
But Winxs connections never had the respect and manners to do those overseas connections the honour of a rematch on their home turf.
Highland Reel and Benbatl travelled halfway round the world and took her on in her own backyard with all the odds stacked in her favour.
In 2017 when Winx was at her peak Highland Reel ran over 10f at Royal Ascot, where was Winx? Why didn't her owners return the favour to Highland Reel and give him a chance for a rematch on his home turf?
Or even in the USA on neutral ground.
Nuh Uh! If you took her on in her own backyard don't expect to get a rematch unless it was 100% on her terms where she had all the advantages and everything was stacked in her favour.
Pretty poor really.
Especially as the Japanese and Coolmore and Godolphin horses from overseas have been propping up their big carnivals for the past ten years.
Highland Reel especially should have been given that respect after he travelled to race her.
Why didn't Winxs connections give him a rematch in the the Prince of Wales at Ascot in 2017 or in the USA at the Breeders Cup?
Godolphin raced against her a couple of times and should have been given the respect of a rematch on their home turf, never happened.
Your about as thick as they come
Winx is a terrible name for such a noble champion.
Need winx v enable to happen
Amy Lloyd. . I think she would beat Enable. Frankel ,i doubt she would have beaten him though, he could handle any track and any going.
Take out Winx and So You Think and the last 8 years would have about 100 of the worst horses to ever contest the Cox Plate.
Yes Winx was the Peoples Horse in recent times. Wonder if the owners share their riches with the People who got her there, doubt it.
Did you watch this video? They donate to charities.
NZ bred broodmare[the progeny of all good thoroughbreds go back to the mares]and a Kiwi trainer...balance here please.
Beating up handicappers and horses that couldn’t win rated 105 in Europe. Wow. She’s some horse. Playground bully. Come up to the big pond and try yer stuff. Best in the world. ? Not a chance. Enable and sea of class would bury her
Those ratings are formulated by old fools serving only to detract from the game.
She will struggle to beat Benbatl and co this week.
Then we have to listen to the bile 'oh one race too far'
Nonsense
Jon Jon she crushed benbatl
Winx just ran 1600m in 133.27 which equates to 133.81 for 8f. Thats 4.7 seconds quicker than Enable ever has been over 8f (her fastest was 138.52) - and is probably a margin of 80 metres!!!!!!!!!!. Winx has just done that as a 7 year old!!! In doing so she clocked up her 31st win in a row and her 23rd Group 1 win (a world record) ........so its probably time for you Enable fans to Ssshhhhhhhhhhh
the1andonlypjsupreme
When has Enable ever run over 8f?
Idiotic comment!
@@elgransenor1472 you misinterpreted what I meant by "over 8f' - it doesn't mean more than 8f, I was referring to the fastest time Enable has ever set running 8f. And let me tell you, its never been as fast as Winx. You poms keep arguing about soft grounds causing slower times in England, but you'll make any excuse.
2018 Horse of the Year.................................................................not WINX lmao. ENABLE winner of tge Arc and BC Turf
But Enable still could not be IFHA rated higher than Winx. Please explain that! Perhaps it was the quality of the fields that Enable competed in?
The likes of winx and frankel are and were great horses but neither left there back yard unlike sea the stars
ThePd1970
A horse doesn't have to travel to be considered great, or the best. I don't think Secretariat or Brigadier Gerard travelled internationally.
However, I do think they have to beat some real quality opposition at some point to be great, or the best.
I still don't think Winx has done that so despite how many races she wins or how fast she is timed to run there will always be something missing for me.
That's what disappoints me about Winxs connections. If she'd been running against Let's Elope or Vo Rogue or Might and Power in Australia then fine, she'd have proved herself, but given the poor quality she has been up against for three years I'd have wanted to travel her at some point to test her against something a little better.
Winx could never beat her half sister, Zenyatta. Its funny they dont mention how lightning struck 2x with Winx and Zenyatta both daughters of Street Cry
Zenyatta** has 19 consecutive wins out of 20 starts. Zanyetta is a completely different horse who is by Tavistock and not Street Cry. Come on man, get your facts straight

A real Australian national treasure , I often asked my grandmother what it was like to live in the times of Phar Lap and Bradman . Winx`s name will definitely go up alongside theirs .
Aussie bread, Aussie owners, Kiwi scouted, Kiwi Trained. ANZAC all-round
Phar Lap foaled in NZ
That must really annoy your grandmother.
Why do you keep asking her, why didn't you just listen to her answer the first time and remember it rather than pester the poor old lady asking her the same question over and over again?
@@takingafence kiwi spelling:)
@@elgransenor1472逃げられないよ😂
Winx
Winx and Zenyetta are half-sisters by their dad. Talent sure runs in that family!
What is the age difference between the two? I'm not familiar with horse racing, but had heard that Zenyetta was unusually large for a mare.
Have the half sisters ever met and raced? Thanks.
TVY2013 No, Winx only raced in Australia if i remember correctly and Zenyatta only raced in the USA. And yes, Zenyatta was unusually large for a mare, she was bigger than some of the boys in the stable.
@@unheolyy Thanks for filling me in.
Technically not half sisters. Only horses out of the same mare are considered half siblings. Winx’s record is significantly superior to that of Zenyatta.
B Gardiner Winx only ran in Grade 3 races tho, Zenyatta ran in both Grade 2 and Grade 1 races. If Winx would’ve raced in Grade 1 races, she would get beaten very fast, meaning Zenyatta has a bit more talent.
So sad!!! No one outside Australia knows who Winx is but the world knows Zenyatta. They dont mention Zenyatta or Street Cry to show Street Cry fathered 2 of the greatest racehorses of all time. PATHETIC
Race follows do but not your average person
She is better than all horses that have ever entered a Racetrack ..... except Secretariat!
But United states didn't recognize her
She’s the best mare in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕love you Winx your so Great and special to me and I think everyone else 2 words fantastic and astonishing love you girl . ❤️❤️ I cant even say how happy you make me what you race.
in australia you mean?
Sam Sabastian That's wonderful...amazing.
@@supersaiyanjin2199 got shut up and quickly disappeared.....classic internet troll behaviour.
@@bradwilliams7212 no not the world at all. Now check bha who are the go to raters. They won't race her against enable because they know she'll get beaten
@@bradwilliams7212 because winx had a full season and enable came off injury. But hey what do you care if they're not the go to.... Jackass
It's interesting to see comments of naysayers.........they're guessing at what she would be overseas. Champions are champions wherever they are and always rise to the occasion when asked. Just enjoy the majesty for what it is.
Jude O'Hara
I'm champion of my local tennis club. Won it six years in a row.
Does that mean I would rise to the occasion and win Wimbledon if I entered?
A truly banal comment by you.
All the naysayers wanted was for her to run against better horses.
That's supposedly the idea behind elite sport, testing yourself against the best.
Not racking up a multitude of easy wins against low level opposition.
I loved watching her up until her second Cox Plate win in 2016 but after that the whole thing just became a farce.
Two recent races in the UK have demonstrated quite clearly the difference between Winx's career and Enable's career.
The Eclipse where Enable beat Magical and the KGVI where Enable beat Crystal Ocean.
When Enable runs in a G1 there is always one or two genuinely, high class, consistent opponents.

Winx, Bowman and Waller never had to worry about that because Winx mostly ran against tree stumps.
But when a champion has a streak of races and a race named in her honour and 4 Cox plates in a row. She doesn’t choke when going for the threepeat 😂
Nick Donati
What a truly weak and pathetic comment.
Not worthy of either of these great horses.
Nick Donati
When a champion has a streak of wins, a race named in her honour and four Cox Plates and doesn't choke going for a threepeat, it's probably just a sign that they had virtually no decent opposition to run against.
Winx ran against a single high class horse twice, maybe three times in her life.
Never against multiple high class horses in one race and never against high class horses two, three, four races in a row.
That doesn't mean she wasn't a great racehorse.
Just means it was too easy for her and she had nothing to beat.
Her biggest achievement for me was just not getting absolutely bored with herself.
The Arc result actually proves my original point.
El Gran Senor yet none of those horses came to take her on. She didn’t have to prove anything. Beat Benbatl in a canter mate. Yet enable and your best horses get thrashed from the whip. Bowman shakes the reigns slightly and she’s already past whatever horse she’s against. You have no idea about horses.
Never seen so many haters jealous of a horse,,instead of looking to find holes in winx,,just sit back and admire her for wat she Is,,and imo shes the best in the world right now,,her and frankel are the 2 best of all times,,there will never be another 2 like them,,just enjoy her while she still is racing cos they don't be around forever,,and btw I'm Irish,,not a biased Aussie.
Pete Warnock
What her connections have made her is a playground bully.
They've found a bunch of weaker, inferior opponents and she beats them up week after week after week.
I would have thought that's fairly difficult to get much enjoyment from?
You're right pete. Enjoy every great horse wherever they come from. We last year saw an absolute dirt star in justify. Watch out for Sea of Class this year.This horse is in the right hands too.
Jeez Secretariat and Zenyatta are the best
@@elgransenor1472 just saw a comment that recorded fastest speed of Frankel 67.5 and winxs was 69,4 so yeah she would have bullied him as,I rate enable as a far better horse out of Europe Frankel far to overrated and never raced much and always in fields no more than four
I love you so much winx your strong and wonderful you would always be behind but always getting to the front! you have grown to be so pretty and your famliy tat take care of you love you so much winx and you've always been so strong hun and you are THE SUPER STAR😘❤💙 GO WINX! GO WINX! GO WINX!👻 I'm so pround of you honey keep the good work up 💃
Winx Is Not the rise of a Superstar; but 'THE RISE OF A GODDESS'. She is the 'Expression of God', and She is going to Win Her Fourth Cox Plate. SHE'S A TRUE SPIRIT OF GOD'S EXPRESSION. That's the highest exultation I can give Her.
What a freak what horse can do what she does !! NO Horse in this lifetime
Keen ice 5
You mean, rack up a big winning streak against weak opposition?
It's harder in other countries because you might find the odd weak field in a group one but you'd never see it 22 times like you do in Australia.
So glad to here they are enjoying the moments, live in the now and enjoy the moments of each day.
A little bit sad that Winx had never gone to race overseas.
What can I say to this beautiful gorgeous gal .Her and Zenyatta are the most
Beautiful Creatures God has
Put His horses here on this earth to enjoy 😊Truly Winx and Zenyatta will always be love ❤️🐎❤️🐎l will miss them so much dearly
I hope Wink will become a Mom, Tapit or Medaglia d’oro
Wind! I just can’t believe she won so many . Let see her and her sister,zenyatte walk together on the tracks just for show. Little Winx we will see you again and many more . She is definitely one of the best .0ur 2 queens from USA and Australia We want to see more of Winx please Thankyou team for this magnificent beauty that will be sorely miss Stay well and healthy.

Such a lovely horse ☘️🦋l
I miss you already., please keep her healthy and well
Please write a book about Wink, we need to pass it down to our children and to have a lovely picture of her in my home. All cheers to Wink,who ran and ran to meet her fan , she ran with guts and fear of a mare’s eyes with joy of tears,
there she waited to the finish line of a beautiful stallion and says He is mine.0h Winx! You were so guicklike a Timex , yourheart keeps on ticking as you beat them licking,Your Cox Plate is waiting as your

🌺🌹☘️🐎❤️❤️❤️🐎☝️🌸
Great champion! And beautiful too.
Frankel would have ran her out of the race.. he would have been too far ahead...
Woulda, coulda, shoulda! A tad desperate?
its not fair to compare eras but greatest is subjective some will say Phar Lap some will say Tulloch, Kingston Town or Winx but unless they actually raced each other its pure speculation
Kincsem and winx and Black caviar is the best mares!!!
Kincsem 54/ 54-0-0🇭🇺
Winx 43/37-3-0🇦🇺
Black caviar 25/25-0-0🇦🇺
I hope she is still being treated properly we are watching
Winx had my eyes leaking salty water.
Clark Kimberly Gonzalez Michael Allen Mary
i love how her jockey barely goes into contact with her
Greatest horse of this generation. Potentially of all time
behind frankel yeah
Yep, it takes the greatest horse of all time to beat Benbatl, Hartnell, Humidor, Kluger and Happy Clapper.
There's no other horse racing in the past 4 years who could beat them.
No other horse in history would be capable of beating them.
@@jamestaylor935 She'd be in front, I'd say!
Freak freak world is so jealous of winx ! Poms her number1 fans they never stop talking about her!!! 👍
Keen ice. She is great. Her sister Zenyatta was wonderful too. I would have loved her to come to royal ascot 2019, sadly not to be. Yes we poms love her too.
Frankel's top speed waa 67.5kmh. Winx is 69.4kmh. Go check it.
frankel rated highest all time go check it,,,
Prentice Darren @ true?
@@jamestaylor935 raced in a bubble and hardly in fields of mor than 4 horses,racked up ratings in high rating races against lower rating horse,I'll take that average speed any day sounds like about 10 lengths which flatters frankel really and not in the same class as winx
Where's that data mate?
@@russe19642 the reason he was only racing in field's of 4 was because every trainer in the country knew nothing would beat him over a mile end of conversation bud.......
Best racehorse of all time but the world has under rated her especially in the US
Now there’s the beautiful horse that represents my country. Love you big girl 💙Ⓜ️💙
Izzy Semms what country exactly? Because Australian breed ,New Zealand Trained.
She’s a freak I have never seen anything like her just outstanding wowww
cannot stand the female owner
Waiting for a jelouse Britt to say enable would beat her
What a race will be Enable vs Winx
The best.
Money goes to charity why she win again and again winx want help others
Every comment about this champion is so true. I miss winx
When she hits boost she's gone
Si es caballito saca lágrimas
i wish she joined the Melbourne cup
They knew she'd get beaten
GamerBajan Winx would win the melb cup but too much of a risk if she gers injured or killed as many horses have. So no point putting the great champion in the race.
@@loomibiq no they knew she'd get beaten
@@loomibiq good point
First of all... Winx is that good she would be handicapped out of the race.... second of all the melbourne cup is over 2 miles (3200m) winx' top distance is 2040m thats more then 6 furlongs further... idiotic comment
We need a movie on her
I have seen most of Winx"s Sydney races and she is the best I have seen in the flesh. Whether she could beat Enable who knows, Enable is an on paced runner whereas Winx is a finisher but who cares. All I can say if you are an Aussie and have even the slightest interest in horses you must see Winx live. The atmosphere is electric when she races. I have my doubts whether she will race again after the Cox plate so you may not have the chance, but who knows.
philip
haven't seen her live but at every club have been at to watch her there is cheering and applause.
In the Turnbull there was dead silence (except for the odd "she can't win from there") until about the
200 when the place went mental.
you only usually see that for Grand Finals.
Good horse
Really enjoyed that :)
Still remember when she first started 2 dollar something favourite, my brother was pretty bullish,yeah yeah, heard it all before bro🤣🤣,he was on the money that time
I backed her in her first cox plate win at $6 cleaned up!!!
I want one of those jackets blue with Winx best horse in the World. Where can I get one.

Yesterday omg! What a race
Pammy M H I know I was there
Winx was a superb equine athlete.
However she only raced against try hards and wannabes.
She never ran against a truly high class, talented, gutsy opponent.
Sad!
To be fair she only ever raced the clock over her career as no horse in 7 generations could compete with her. If you disagree name the horse in aus. Or NZ that could compete.
@@iansmith587
I absolutely agree with you.
The best horses of those 7 generations were pretty bloody ordinary
Beating up handicappers and horses that couldn’t win rated 105 in Europe. Wow. She’s some horse. Playground bully. Come up to the big pond and try yer stuff. Best in the world. ? Not a chance. Enable and sea of class would bury her
Wouldn't get no where near Frankel....
Nobody would get near you too, being English and having that renowned body odor. Have a good shower and wash with soap please! The English are notorious soap dodgers.
So, what possible excuse not to go for the Pegasus Turf race?
The excuse makers on here claim she doesn't go to Europe due to the poor prizemoney, no such problem here, this race is richer than any Australian race and it's US$ so that's probably 20 million in Australian currency.
Perfect distance for her as well.
Frankel connections shied away from competing with Black Caviar when she came over and we know why , Frankel never had a sectional under 10s for 200m. Cracksman was invited to Australia in 2018 and did not show up. Why would that be ? Now the Brits retire him after being lightly raced, why would that be? We know why.
@El Gran Senor, bro you're everywhere hating on Winx videos. Like do you have nothing better to do??
Minh Nguyen
Learn to read moron.
I just hope your charity funds go into all the neglected, abused racehorses that end up in a slaughter house, for dog meat. .
She is fantastic, I just wish Australia or NZ could produce one other top line horse to give her a proper run for her money.
Humidor no good ? Watch last year's Cox Plate again. He's a 3 x Grp1 winner who excels at 2000m on dry ground. He'd actually go very well in Europe in a 10f race with a pacemaker putting the speed on if he could get dry ground.
AnotherFastnet70
Fair to good at best. A long way behind a horse like Dundeel or So you think IMHO.
What are his three group ones?
Aust Cup, Memsie, ????
Let's hope he runs badly this week then he might be due for his once per campaign good run in the Cox Plate. If he runs well this week we're stuffed, I've never seen him put two good runs back to back.
His other Grp1 win was in the Makybe Diva Stks over a mile at Flemington on Sept 16 2017 where he beat Hartnell by 3 1/2 lengths. He;s the horse to beat in this weeks Caulfield Stakes.. What you need to understand is Humidor is a get back run on horse and we don't have pacemakers so sometimes the lack of pace in the first half of a race can bring him undone. He's a proper Grp1 horse on Good ground in a race with a genuine tempo
There won't be and the top overseas trainers don't want to take her on because they know it's a WOFTAM.
AnotherFastnet70
I see the public and media are asking questions about the Penzance Cup win following the trainers investigation.
Are there any other similar questions being raised about Humidors Cox Plate run in 2017?
Interested in the opinion of European racing followers.
If Winx had spent a year in Europe and run in these races how many do you think she would have won in a normal year?
