It is also considered by many that besides being able to win one or more of the majors at WFA, a champion horse should have also won a group 1 handicap, preferably one of the big four majors, carrying weight. Only two horses in the last decade have really met that criteria, Sunline and Northerly, while it is arguable that perhaps Might and Power also fits that criteria in winning the Melbourne Cup, but he only carried 56kgs, unlike Sunline's 58kgs in winning the Doncaster or Northerly's 58kgs in winning the Caulfield Cup.

If my memory serves me correctly, I can think of only one horse in the last decade or thereabouts who has truly worn the champion tag and didn't win a major handicap race and that was Better Loosen Up, but I guess his Japen Cup win makes up for that. Regards.

I am unsure of this but did Super Impose carry 60kg in one of it's Sydney Mile wins, Doncaster I think.
