There may not be another Winx in the near future, with 27 wins to her name of which 20 are Group Ones. She bested younger horses like Le Romain to win the Gr.1 Colgate Optic White (George Main) Stakes 2018 in usual high-powered style.
“She is not getting bottomed out in races. She is going home as if it is a training gallop,' said trainer Chris Waller of his exceptional charge.
“It is heroic what she is doing.” concluded Waller.
Winx ran past a three-time group 1 winner in Le Romain at the 150-metre mark and then put four lengths into him. Queensland Oaks winner Egg Tart in third.
