Brings back great memories. Love watching the King winning his 3rd Cox Plate same day Manikato won his 5th William Reid. Best 2 horses I've seen race in my 47 years of following horses
All the Northerly fans would have been happy to see that Northerly was paid tribute and respect prior to the Plate today, when it's trainer and colours played a part in bringing the actual Plate to the enclosure where the presentations are made. They concentrated on Kingston Town, Northerly, and Pinker Pinker in the whole thing.
@onedingshort You're right, Northerly should have been paid respect in this piece. His two wins in the Cox Plate were as great as Sunline's, and his feat of backing up in 2002 after taking out the Caulfield Cup echoes another great gelding who attempted the same feat in 1990, Sydeston, except he carried 57 whilst winning the cup, and came up short to BLU heartbreakingly so the following week. But sorry, 1992 is the best Cox Plate field we have seen.
Excellent video. Feel sorry for my favourite horse though - Better loosen up. Won cox plate followed by courage Japan cup win. He should have won second cox plate but squeezed out during almighty super impose year. Sll but forgotten champion.
Great to see The People's Champion in Might and Power get a mention with his time still the record at 2 minutes 3.54 seconds. Didn't lead from post to post like the Caulfield and Melbourne Cup but was simply awesome in destroying the opposition from the front.
In 2006, after he ran a cracking race in the Yalumba I felt foo was a winning chance, because Tony mckevoy used the same race to lead in to the 2003 plate, he finished third. So off that it was easy to argue he was a winning chance, despite his age, as he was clearly improving his form on time. Champions don't care about age, foo loved the valley and in my opinion his record in the WFA championship of the southern hemisphere should be recognised more
Cos Northerly is WA horse and WA horses and WA racing in general are looked upon as the poorer cousin. I agree Northerly should be in this. Not too worry. Good video though.
Sorry beadman you fuckin slaughtered the black flash. FOO best Cox plate was 2003. The field was smaller but the horses were awesome wfa contenders. The small field changed the dynamics of the race and he adapted like the champion he is. Rubiton rip you gave us some great ones
Oh lets make a video about the best champions of the cox plate but leave out the one that beat the previous two cox plates winner in sunline and the following two cox plates by old fields after he became injured,both who he beat everytime.Victorians still dont and wont give northerley the respect he earnt.
It is a shame that paid no respect to Northerly in this piece, why is it that his feat of beating the best Cox Plate field the week after winning the Caulfield Cup with 58 is not celebrated for what it was! Outside of the obvious in Tulloch, Phar Lap and Kingston Town and maybe Dulcifi he belongs in the upper class of cox plate champions. Everyone bangs on about Sunline and anyone who knows anything about racing will remember what he did to her in three meetings at the valley!
Sunline won by 7 lengths, Winx by 7 but it was 8 and shen she won in 2015 smashed the clock and even when Humidor tried to get near her again she broke her own track record. Look at the times most of these other winners i know the rurf has changed but Winx knocks them all off the closest was 3 secs slower than Winx
What timrs you looking at so Dulcify ran 1.58.9 ??? Yet Might And Power was the fastest winner in 2008 and then Winx 2 times broke his record and her own in 2017. Check your stats mate
@@dazzac74 He comments on every single racing video there is with a negative comment or opinion about Winx he is a troll you will see him everywhere. Beware of people like this, time-sucking energy vampires! Enough said, see ya!
A heart touching upload with some of the “ Greats to embrace “ us all !!!
🇦🇺Cox Plate , Norton for mine being a patriot of W.A. !!! 🔥❤️🔥🔥👏🏼😊👍🏼

How good was that run from the mare Sunline? 8 lengths? Wow!
Oh man, I'm such a Zipping fan. Runner up in so many instances. Best place getter of all time.
Better loosen Up was 30 lengths behind the leader at the 800 and still won the race ? Crazy that it's not featured.

Great video, thanks.
this video is amazing
We need to refresh it
There will never be a horse as good as Kingston Town in the cox plate and that includes Winx,He was the real deal

Super beat the best field.

THE KING THE BEST as the DULICFY my PRINCESS!!!!

Did they forget about Northerly? 2001, 2002 Cox Plate winner. Very wrong

Norton the Best from the West !!! 🔥❤️🔥🔥😎👌🏼
Bruce could have found a suit that actually fitted him.....

what about Surround only 3yo filly to win the plate
Sunline
Always second to NORTON !!! 😊👌🏼
poor filante born the wrong time. but you still my champion "shooting star"
Dulcify the best of all, even after Winx has won 4 and Kingston Town won 3, his is still the best.
Sunline won by 7 lengths, Winx by 7 but it was 8 and shen she won in 2015 smashed the clock and even when Humidor tried to get near her again she broke her own track record.

Darren Campbell
Better Loosen Up ran almost one and a half seconds faster.

Dulficify 2.04.9.
