This man has a lot to smile about: Meet Mr. John Bunting of Melbourne, Australia. He's the farrier and she's the world's favorite racehorse--and with good reason. Today she won her third consecutive Cox Plate, and her 22nd stakes win in a row without defeat. John reports that she is so good-tempered, he "could shoe her without a head collar (halter)." He hasn't tried that yet, though. (Photo courtesy of John Bunting) |
If you could pick up the near fore of any horse in the world today, and have a look, whose would it be?
Frankel’s? American Pharoah’s? Valegro’s? Zenyatta’s?
Most people would probably choose the same horse: Winx. She's the horse of the hour. And the year. Maybe of the decade.
