UAE (Dubai) earnings in Hong Kong dollars (HKD)*   HKD 3,119,676

# Bonus of HKD 800,000 earned 22 April 2001 as a consolation prize for winning two out of three legs of The Champion Sprint Series in 2000/2001 season.

Worldwide earnings in United States dollars (USD)*   USD 4,707,279.99
Worldwide earnings in British pounds (GBP)*   GBP 3,105,288.86
Worldwide earnings in euros (EUR)*   EUR N/A
Worldwide earnings in Australian dollars (AUD)*   AUD 8,287,421.91
Worldwide earnings in Japanese yen (JPY)*   JPY 540,829,730
Worldwide earnings in Hong Kong dollars (HKD)*   HKD 36,651,466
* A foreign currency amount is first converted into AUD using Reserve Bank of Australia Daily Indicative Rates for the day of the race (or the previous day if the race date is not a trading day) before converting that amount into another foreign currency.

The hkjc.com has Hong Kong only race earnings of HKD 26,797,587 (see eg: https://www.hkjc.com/english/corporate/racing_news_item.asp?in_file=/english/news/news_200302234387.htm ) is HKD 1,100,000 more than my figure of HKD 25,697,587 (excluding the HKD 800,000 bonus).
My USD earnings for all 26 races inc bonus of USD 4,707,279 is just USD 3,200 more than the equibase.com figure of USD 4,704,080 for the same 26 races and my calendar year USD earnings are also close to the equibase.com USD calendar year earnings for the same suggesting equibase.com and I are in agreement as to both the timing and amount of Hong Kong only earnings when converted into USD using our respective forex rates.
The difference between the hkjc.com total and my Hong Kong only HKD race earnings is baffling.

Bullish Luck (USA) 1999 (late 'Al Moughazel' in UK)
Bay gelding
Royal Academy (USA) 1987 (Nijinsky (CAN) 1967) - Wild Vintage (USA) 1990 (Alysheba (USA) 1984)
62 starts, 12 wins (5 x G1), 7 seconds, 8 thirds. Win % 19.4, Place % 43.5.
Countries raced: United Kingdom, France, Hong Kong, UAE (Dubai), Japan

(Career Record: Starts 62: 12-7-8-35; United Kingdom: Starts: 7: 2-1-1-3 for GBP 18,444; France: Starts: 1: 0-1-0-0 for EUR 5,800; Hong Kong: Starts: 48: 9-5-6-28 for HKD 38,730,000 ; Japan: Starts: 3: 1-0-0-2 for JPY 117,780,000; UAE (Dubai): Starts: 3: 0-0-1-2 for USD 750,000; and 2006 Asian Mile Challenge Bonus of USD 1,000,000).
(Bullish Luck's earnings include a USD 1,000,000 bonus for winning the Asian Mile Challenge when he won the Yasuda Kinen in Tokyo, Japan on 4 June 2006. 'equibase.com' have career earnings of USD 8,825,485 which is USD 1,014,494.45 more than my figure of USD 7,810,99.55. Looking at the equibase.com calendar year earnings and my equivalent figures the discrepancy arises in the 2006 calendar year. Assuming forex differences of some USD 14,494.45 over the horses career I infer that equibase.com has double counted the 2006 Asian Mile Challenge Bonus of USD 1,000,000. I have emailed equibase.com about that and equibase.com responded as follows: "Since all of his races were overseas, we have limited specifics to each race. Equibase covers North American racing (US and Canada). Any result information would be provided by the foreign racing jurisdiction and we would report what they paid out to the owner." In other words equibase.com does not independently audit information received. The 'hkjc.com' summary excludes 8 starts and earnings appear overstated by at least HKD 2,000,000. The 'racingpost.com' total is understated by about GBP 500,000 as the USD 1,000,000 bonus (GBP 536,039) was not included but the 'racingpost.com' total is otherwise correct after allowing for differing forex rates that may have been applied.)

Great video on Seattle Slew - one of the great champions of the track

Interesting to note that Winx and Zenyatta have the same sire. I feel her record, while excellent, is marred by the limited range she raced in. Apart from her first start every race was in the range 8 to 10 furlongs and a huge majority 8 or 6.5 furlongs. It is somewhat similar to Black Caviar's span. It does not compare to Winx's pread of distances.

Many of us old timers tend to agree with that

Question marks can be raised in respect of Black Caviar due to her limited distance range.

But certainly not Winx

1400-2000 is not a 'limited range" in my language.

1400-2000 is not a 'limited range" in my language.

Agree,

I actually think it was 1400-2200m - wasn't the Qld Oaks won at Doomben?

Black Caviar v So You Think v Winx (distance range)

For the record -

So You Think (NZ) 2006
2YO 1 start for 1 win at 1400m.
All Group 1 wins were between 1800m. (Caulfield) and 2112m. (Ireland x 2).
No other wins as 3YO+ outside this range.
Winning range 1400m. to 2112m.
Group 1 winning range 1800m. to 2112m.

Black Caviar
Winning range 1000m. to 1400m.
Group 1 winning range 1000m. to 1400m.

Winx (AUS) 2011
2YO 2 start for 2 wins at 1100m. and 1400m.
All Group 1 wins were between 1400m. (Randwick) and 2200m. (Doomben).
Also won a Group 2 3YOF race over 1200m.
Winning range 1100m. to 2200m.
Group 1 winning range 1400m. to 2200m.

Based on group 1winning range the order is (in shortest to longest): Black Caviar (400m.), So You Think (412m.) and Winx (800m).
No one in the world will ever beat Wakeful for the range of group 1 wins (inc retrospective) unless a new very long distance group 1 races is programmed. She won the Oakleigh Plate at Caulfield (1106m) and the AJC Plate at Randwick (now Queen Elizabeth Stakes) (4827m).
