That horse is a pleasure to watch. I really like the Aussie racing.

Yes something very special. You have to remember that these aren't $5 k claimers she is beating. To show up every start over a number of years is just wow!!!

Default Make that 19 in a row

Another scintillating run from far back to catch a loose on the lead who was 5 clear at the 1/16 pole. Wow is she exciting

Her last two wins have both been G2 races - she's just getting started again after a winter break.

But she has won 12 G1s in her career, 11 of them against males. She defeated Highland Reel by five lengths in the 2015 Cox Plate.

To win 19 in a row over a span of years at assorted distances is an incredible feat even if she was beating 5 claimers. Lets not overlook the training job to keep her at the top of her game over that time. She obviously is one the greatest ever to put a bridal on.
