There may well be a horse that has won in every state. Just that there are few publicly available older records of non-stakes races. Very difficult one to track down.

Corporate James was another well travelled racehorse who may well have won in a number of states.

Cheers Jackal...pretty much just WA & NSW by looks.

Did Piping Lane travel much ?

He won in Perth and Tasmania along with his cup win at 40/1 with 48 kilos.

He was a 6 year old then and all of those wins were in the same calendar year.

Honourable mention to Bar Landy, won Tas, Vic, Qld, WA, 3rd SA.

Ortensia, Doubtful Jack, Hay List - all in with a chance !

Interesting looking through the Stud Book records for Tassie races.

The 1866 Launceston Cup was won by a horse called Strop, foaled in 1861. Same horse won the race in 1869, 1874 and celebrated a decade by winning it again in 1876. I'll be stuffed if that isn't some kind of record!

Honourable mention Zavite, won TAS,SA,VIC,NSW and NZ.  Never placed in QLD and never tried in WA,NT.  I am assuming ACT doesnt count!

"The 16.1 hands gelding Strop retains a special place in AAMI Launceston Cup folklore. He made his racing debut when winning the race as a four-year-old in 1866 and added three more victories in this race – in 1869, 1874 and in 1876. He was the first to complete the AAMI Hobart Cup-Launceston Cup double and it’s remarkable that he achieved these 1876 successes as a 14-year-old."
