From the Longines World's best Racehorse Rankings:
The champion mare has been the champion of the turf for the past two racing seasons but has continued to be outshone by American dirt track runners Arrogate and Gun Runner.
Not this time.
After her 25th straight win, Winx has not only equalled the great Black Caviar on the mark but also has been crowned the world's best in the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings, which were released on Thursday in Europe.
Winx's recent Queen Elizabeth Stakes win at Royal Randwick last month was given a rating of 130 — which saw her finish a point ahead of Gun Runner.
Winx is currently enjoying a paddock spell on a farm in the country outside Sydney.
After a few weeks rest she'll be brought back into light work before her trainer Chris Waller and owners Peter Tighe, Debbie Kepitis and Richard Treweeke decide on a spring campaign.
Winx's owners chose not to send their prized horse overseas to Royal Ascot but a decision is yet to be made on whether she tries to win a record fourth Cox Plate or compete in the world's richest race on turf — The Everest.
Trainer Chris Waller Racing already owns one of the 12 allocated slots worth $600,000 each to compete in The Everest, which was won by Redzel last year.
