Windbag (1921âÂÂ1944) was an Australian bred Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 1925 Melbourne Cup.
Starting the 7/4 favourite, Windbag won the cup by half a length in front of a crowd of 106,828 at Flemington Racecourse. He set a new record time for the race of 3.22.75.
After retiring from racing in 1927, Windbag commenced stallion duties where he sired 212 individual winners, including the Australian Racing Hall of Fame horse Chatham. Windbag died in 1944 aged 23 years.
Windbag is inbred 4S x 3D to the stallion St Simon, meaning that he appears fourth generation on the sire side of his pedigree, and third generation on the dam side of his pedigree.
