She has won two Cox Plates, one of which (last year) she won by a record winning margin. That warrants her to be compared to a nickel claimer? I'm not saying she's immortal, but who do you suggest could beat her at the moment?

I am unfamiliar with that qoute, and I'm not blowing it up to mean anything. To me it sounds like having someone walk the plank, a form of execution. It is, in fact, you blowing things up, as I did ASK for clarification.

That's funny. I was going to ask you about your complete lack of reading comprehension. After all, you took his post about using long winning streaks to determine greatness as an attack on Winx and somewhere that translated into him hating winners. I, on the other hand, was unfamiliar with your phrase, which in no way is a reflection on my ability to comprehend what I read.

She has taken on all comers at various distances and trounced them all over a number of years. I didn't say she was the greatest of all times(everyone has their own perspective) but surely ranks up there. She is so feared that Godolphin have announce that they have decided to actively seek a path to avoid her with their $4 million earner Hartnell. Hartnell is a dual Group 1 winner, his latest turf triumph producing the three and a quarter-length win over subsequent Caulfield Cup champion Jameka in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) at Flemington last October. He backed-up from that to finish runner-up behind Winx in the $3 million Cox Plate (2040m), the mighty mare taking out Australasia’s weight-for-age championship by a historical eight length winning margin. Hartnell also took on Winx in the 2015 Cox Plate finishing fifth. After his Cox Plate second last spring, the gelding ran an eye-catching third to round out the 2016 Melbourne Cup trifecta behind Almandin (1st) and Heartbreak City (2nd). This is the stables plan" I think if we can steer him towards races where he’s not chasing home a ghost then he’ll be in with a chance.” |

For those who have never heard of her I found this article today with videos of some of her wins. Two things to note she is trouncing males and she is not running up her record beating 5 horse fields like we see over here often.

Highland Reel finished 3rd to Winx in the 2015 Cox Plate which is run in the fall. Rather than try her again last year they came to the Breeders Cup to find an easier group.

I appreciate Indian Charlie actually reading what I wrote.
People love to misconstrue and overreact....especially on the internet.

Another one with reading comprehension problems. He came into the thread to bash Winx for no reason, other than to show his dislike for a winner. He was glad the Cleveland Indians lost last night too. Are you gonna bet a big $200 pick 5 today with your Defiant Honor as your key with an all or 2 thrown in ?

He talked of perspective. How many mares have won 20 in a row ? Won 13 grade 1 ? Beaten males on turf by many doing so ? The perspective is that the world is right as only a dunce can't see her greatness. If she's not great, how come no one else can do what she does every time. The Rapid Redux comparison is foolish to say the least. Take it on the arches rock head

Upcoming Stakes opinion
Saul Alvarez will knock GGG out tonight. Bet accordingly. He is way better than anyone GGG has fought, whereas he's fought better fighters than GGG. It's like when The real Deal fought Tyson. Alvarez took shots from James Kirkland that would have put mortals on their back, and preceded to beat him silly. Expect the same tonight.
