I'm in a pub with a loud and mouthy Aussie telling me that Winx is the greatest horse of all time. I have pointed out that a rating of 130 doesn't back this up, and that she'd be beaten by Frankel by 18 lengths. I need some back up here, please. Why is she only rated 130, when she has beaten loads of other G1 horses doing handstands?
Frankel was the best horse of all time.

Got up at 6 yesterday morning to watch her latest race-lost 4 lengths at the start,struggled all the way but got up on the line.What I thought was interesting is that there was a recorded bet of $61500 at 1.08 on the tote but she drifted to 1.1 at the off.I believe she will be beaten at long odds on this year and intend to make a few quid out of it.
Len as regards her previous form her defeat of Highland Reel reads well.
Clearly too many Tooheys sunk.
All comers, all grounds, all beaten!
This perfect mix of poetry and destruction.

10f wouldn't be Highland Reel's best distance, either - particularly around a sharp Moonee.
Thank you all, guys. He's now admitted that Winx is the best AUSTRALIAN horse of all time.
