A Horse Named Winx

At the height of her fame, Winx became known as the "people's horse"—an Australian icon who transcended her sport—joining the realms of fellow legends like Cathy Freeman and Sir Donald Bradman. Although the world's greatest racehorse retired in 2019, she's still breaking records. Winx's only foal sold at auction for a world record $10 million. During her reign, huge crowds descended on tracks across Australia to witness the Phar Lap of the modern era pull off the impossible—33 straight wins—a feat unlikely to ever be repeated.
