Cool! Thanks for the link.

That was Winx's 4th Group I win in less than 7 weeks.

Her chest looks like it was carved from granite. The grandstand was rumbling and shaking like the old Boston Garden balcony during a Grateful Dead show. The people looked at her with love in their eyes and in their hearts. Very moving thing to watch last night.

Winx looks for 18 in a row
 
After getting left by 5 lengths and forced to go 7 wide around the turn, put in a Zenyatta like run, passing everyone, to just get up late. She is a superstar.

Absolutely stunning. Relentless. Have to get Steve to get owner and trainer on. They were absolutely speechless. Hell, I was speechless. On a mission.

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!!!

Who needs to break with the field ??

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

I assume she runs in the grade 1 races over there, I dont know anything about her.

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.

Winning 19 in a row, now 20, is really cool. Rapid Redux did it. Was he also "obviously one of the greatest ever to put a bridal on?"

Perspective is never a bad thing.

Try watching her run. I guess 20 in a row w/13 grade I wins isn't enough. You hate winners. Most losers hate winners. You root against great hosses. Losers root against the greats. Another new low for you. And you're wrong again, just like with Sunday Silence and Easy Goer, just like Zenyatta, just like Songbird.

Do us all a favor and talk a long walk off a short pier.

So, let me get this straight. You are advocating he kills himself because he questions the validity of using winning streaks to determine greatness? Or is it because he thinks Zenyatta and Songbird are overrated? Either way, it's looks like I'm destined to join him on that short pier.
