Will Winx become the second best horse to race in Australasia in the past 50 years behind Kingston Town?

Amazing stuff really, as I'm lead to believe Winx is 7 years old?
Apparently has won 26 consecutive races.

You can only beat what you are up against and so Winx has done that easily but the standard of horseflesh she is running against is as poor as I have witnessed in my 40 years following the races not even in the same hemisphere as the Northerly era for quality!

By the way to the supposed "expert racing commentators/journalists/social media types" for your information Winx's supposed record of 26 wins in a row is for gallopers only.....former West Aussie champion pacer San Simeon won his first 29 starts in a row!

I was speaking of thoroughbreds not standardbreds. The best standardbred I have seen is Mount Eden. What is also signigicant is the compressed weight scales compared to the days of Kingston Town.

Historically, unequivocally the best horse in Australasia is Phar Lap.

What uninformed journalists. Surely not? Except for the hacks who write about hockey once every 4 years. The absolute crap spoken about a tennis player conserving their energy during a match by letting a set slide from 4-0. Journalists writing that player X was coming to club Y or player A was leaving club B. etc. etc. etc.
