6. DULCIFY: In my opionon a very underrated horse that only ran 21 times for 10 wins. Wins included the Australian Cup, Rosehill Guineas, AJC Derby, Craiglee Stks, Turnbull Stks, Mackinnon Stks and Victoria, and his best of all, a Cox Plate victory by 7 lengths

5. WAKEFUL: My best mare of all time, she won races from 1000m - 4800m in a career record of 25 wins from 44 races. Won sprint double Oakleigh Plate and Newmarket Hcp in first year of racing, middle distance group ones the Doncaster, Caulfield Stks twice, Mackinnon Stks 3 times, All Aged Stks and 2 Eclipse Stks. Also won the Sydney Cup and ran 2nd in the Melbourne Cup carrying 63.5kgs and lost to a horse 3 stone lighter.

4. TULLOCH: This sensational horse had a career record of 36 wins from 53 starts. His best wins included the Rosehill Guineas, AJC Derby, 2 Queen Elisabeth Stks, Caulfield Guineas, Caulfield Cup, VRC Derby, Mackinnon Stks and a Cox Plate

Well we have Kingston Town,Pharlap left anyone guess the other ??

Any guesses :D

Tulloch not in the top 3??? :eek:

I assume the other one is Gunsynd?

Impressive list, Chuck. Don't really agree with your order, but it's been interesting.

Gloaming would be my guess :) incredible record.
has Vain been mentioned ?? Gunsynd ,Phar lap , Kingston Town ...one of these greats are missing out on a top 30 spot .

Yeah, you've given yourself an impossible task here, Chuck.

Personally, I only really try to rate horses that have raced since I've been following the sport (late 70s) and so, for what it's worth, here is my top 30 list along with the rating that I've given them. Hope I haven't forgotten some.

01 - 64.0 KINGSTON TOWN

well there h ave obviously been some hard luck stories. Those unlucky to miss out include Gunsynd, Gloaming, Shannon, Wenona Girl, Strawberry Road, Better Loosen Up, Bounding Away, Emanicpation, Red Anchor the list goes on forever. In hindsight i could have obviously put it together better, there are a lot i want to change now....but ANYWAY...

3. VAIN: My best sprinter of all time, this amazing horse had 14 starts for 12 wins and 2 seconds. Bolted in in the Sires Produce and Golden Slipper as a 2YO, and capped off that season with a 10 Length win in the Champagne Stks. As well as this, had wins in the Caulfield Guineas, won the Craven A Stks by 12 Lengths, the Lithgow Stks by 6 Lenths, and won the George Adams Hcp carrying 10 Lbs over weight for age.

I did! Bounding Away and Shaftesbury Avenue would both be rated on 61kgs as well.

2. PHAR LAP: This champion horse, probably the most well known horse in Australian Turf history had a career record of 37 wins from 51 starts. His best wins included the AJC and Victoria Derby, AJC and VRC St Legers, Futurity Stks, 2 Melbourne Stks, Chippin Norton, 2 Mackinnon Stks, 3 Craven Plates, 2 Cox Plates, a Melbourne Cup and the USA G1 the Agua Caliente Hcp
