It was a nice thread about a great hoss. Then Surly knocked her for no reason. Indian Charlie always looking to start some **** chimed in , followed by Surly's little toadie Rock head ten... and that's what you get.

Winx keeps getting airtime. Nice to see horse racing talked about in a favorable fashion on main stream sports.

Wins #22 by a long neck in a thriller. Again untouched by the whip.
|
Meanwhile, Damien Oliver has been suspended for 20 race meetings (including all four big days at Flemington) for some repeated bumping into and on the first turn. Video can be seen below:

Looking for 24 in a row
Tonight at 11:45 EDT. they say if she whistles here , it’s off to Royal Ascot . Now that would be really cool. It would really be cool if she came stateside and showed her stuff here too. I hope everyone is rooting for her, though there are a couple who would like to see her get beat like Zenyatta and Songbird.

Winx staying in Australia: https://twitter.com/cwallerracing/st...44502877245440
|
Who could blame them for keeping her in Australia
|
I wouldn't leave either. She is the Champ. If some wants to challenge Her let them go there.
|
Black Caviar for one. It would have been nice to shut the doubters up. Small minded owners don't want to share the gift they were given.
|
At least the connections didn't wait until the last minute to decide.
|
I suppose she may be better than Mister Frisky.
|
24 consecutive stakes races including 17 Group 1's, at distances ranging from 1300 metres to 2200 metres (roughly 11 furlongs).
Just got #25! Best Female Turf horse ever. ![]() |
Just destroyed a solid field of G1 boys tonight. Look at the lifetime earnings of the first 4 horses and you can't say she's facing bums.
Happy Clapper-$5.9M Gailo Chop- $3.2M Humidor-$2.6M Ambitious-$3.4M |
And the train keeps rolling. The song remains the same. Lots of happy fans. Maybe one other guy not so happy or impressed. Even implied she was facing no legitimate competition.
|
Great race. Comes from dead last, goes 6-wide on final turn and wins going away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLL7_EpOPvo Love the extended overhead view after the start. It gives a much better view of what's happening than the standard nearer-ground level view. |
Looked amazing..didnt even break a sweat
|
My New Greatest Fillie/Mare
Yes, folks, this Fillie is an all-time great
I think she wins against the boys the grass, the dirt the poly! She has the same turn of foot as Zenyatta, the stamina of Pharlap, Big competitive heart like Secretariat and the good owner and trainer that take care of her Long live Zenyatta, Sea Bird II, Rachel A., Azari and all the new Queen and Champ Winx |
Looking for 26 in a row
8 minutes to post. Very exiting stuff in Oz.
|
Winx back on track tonight
For those that are still up 10 min to post for Winx to go after her 26th straight.
https://www.drf.com/news/winx-takes-...caviars-record |
How many horses hang around to run in a race that was named for them?That has to be a first.
Very windy and hectic conditions tonight. |
Looked vunerable at top of stretch but powers away for her 26th straight.
|
Looked beat....but this Winx is just crazy good. What a scintillating run. What was she like 8th at the quarter pole and 3 clear at the 1/16 pole ?
|
26 in a row looking every bit the Champion that she is. What a legend.

The birthday girl with a tremendous turn of foot to go from last to first for 27in a row. 20 group 1 wins. When she kicks in , look out.
|
Chalk up another one. Didn't look like she was coming and then in the words of Hugh Bowman "The turbo kicked in "
|
Incredible animal and arguably the BEST turf horse ever.

Back in tonight. G1 $500,00 Turnball Stakes Race 5 at Flemington. Stretching back out to 1 1/4. Race goes around 1.00am EDT or 10.00 PST. Worth staying up for.
|
Another win. 28 ina row

I have to think she is very aware of what she is doing and enjoys it. She has to be aware of all the fans and her connections and what goes on in these races and after. Tremendously special.
