<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Winx joins Phar Lap and Bradman in the history books: a national sporting idol and the world's best racehorse.<i></i>Australia's world champion racehorse Winx has become a sporting giant, transcending racing in the same way that Muhammad Ali transcends boxing and Bradman transcends cricket. She is described by her trainer, Chris Waller, as a supreme athlete--a world-class sprinter with a freakish ability to dominate longer distances "like Usain Bolt running in 1500-metre races." She is the Phar Lap of the modern age, and one of the greatest racehorses in 300 years of thoroughbred racing. In <i>Winx: The Authorised Biography</i>, Andrew Rule, her owners, her breeder, her trainer and her rider tell the real stories behind the world's greatest racehorse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A deft writer with a sense of humour. It's Rule's access to the Winx camp that adds the X-factor." --<i>Australian</i><br><br>"Excellent." --<i>Age</i><br><br>"I am proud and humbled to work with Andrew Rule and Allen & Unwin on this important book that details the life of a very special horse." --Chris Waller, Winx's Trainer<br><br>"One of the most remarkable and enjoyable sporting stories in my lifetime." --Bruce McAvaney<br><br>"Peter, Patty, Richard and I are thrilled to have Winx's story honoured in this book about her incredible record.
