2023 WRAPPED
HIGHEST-RATED WINNERS (Timeform) It will come as no surprise that Without A Fight ’s Lexus Melbourne Cup win, when he lumped 56.5kg to a 2.25-length win and thus became the first horse to complete the Caulfield Cup/Melbourne Cup double in 22 years, was the highest-rating performance of the year with the import earning a 127+ Timeform figure. Gold Trip earned a 1 26+ rating for his barnstorming win in the Group 1 T AB Turnbull Stakes (2000m), when he swept over the top of subsequent Caulfield Cup runner-up West Wind Blows , Melbourne Cup runner-up Soulcombe and Cox Plate winner Romantic Warrior . Rounding out the top three was Mr Brightside , who earned a 125+ number for his dominant win over Alligator Blood in the Group 1 PFD Food Services Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m).
