Sunline left nine other Gr.1 winners standing to win by 7 lengths and equal Dulcify's margin. As her 11/8 price suggests, a slow Strathayr played for her on a day when nine of the 10 winners settled in the first three. That said, this is one of the most astonishing performances in a Cox Plate, or anywhere else. The Message set a genuine pace, the first 1240m in 1:17.3 with Sunline taking the lead at the 800m. Greg Childs allowed the champion mare to move a few lengths clear soon after as the race turned into an exhibition. Caulfield Cup hero Diatribe came from near last to nose out a brave Referral for second. A time within four seconds of Might and Power's 2040m record tremendous in the wet. “We will smash Sunline,” one of the part-owners of Sky Heights injudiciously declared after Sky Heights won the Caulfield Stakes. He ran 12th. Sunline's win in the seventh race of the Emirates-sponsored World Series comparable to Dubai Millenium's 6-length romp in the Dubai series opener. Sunline shattered the glass ceiling to a record $6,334,691. The top earnings rungs had been occupied by Cox heroes Octagonal ($5.8m) and Super Impose ($5.6m). Sunline the tenth multiple winner, the most famous of whom is Phar Lap, Sunline's distant relation - Entreaty, his full sister being her seventh dam.
