Phar Lap leads the expert list — 37 wins from 51 starts, a Melbourne Cup carrying 9st 12lb, and a win on his first start in America before his death under disputed circumstances. Winx sits second: 43 from 43 is a feat no horse in Australian history has matched. Black Caviar third — perfect record, but 25 starts over a shorter career. Tulloch fourth on the strength of 36 wins from 53 starts across seven seasons — a consistency the more celebrated names cannot match.
