Hi
Jinx - Australian race horse
Hi
Jinx was foaled in 1955 and was by Pride Of Kildare out
of the mare Ladys Bridge (by Foxbridge)
In
front of a crowd of 101478 people she won 1960 Melbourne
Cup at 50/1 carrying the light weight of 7 stone 10 pounds
ridden by W Smith.
In
her wake were some great horses like Tulloch and Dhaulagiri.
Hi
Jinx had had only two previous starts in Australia when
finished well back in the Caulfield Cup and second in
the Moonee Valley Cup.
The
excitement of the running of the centenary Melbourne Cup
dissipated immediately after they crossed the line and
Hi Jinx came back to what was described as "the quietest
reception ever".
