Cool! Thanks for the link.

That was Winx's 4th Group I win in less than 7 weeks.

Her chest looks like it was carved from granite. The grandstand was rumbling and shaking like the old Boston Garden balcony during a Grateful Dead show. The people looked at her with love in their eyes and in their hearts. Very moving thing to watch last night.

Default Winx looks for 18 in a row

After getting left by 5 lengths and forced to go 7 wide around the turn, put in a Zenyatta like run, passing everyone, to just get up late. She is a superstar.

Absolutely stunning. Relentless. Have to get Steve to get owner and trainer on. They were absolutely speechless. Hell, I was speechless. On a mission.

That horse is a pleasure to watch. I really like the Aussie racing.

Yes something very special. You have to remember that these aren't $5 k claimers she is beating. To show up every start over a number of years is just wow!!!

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.

Just wanted to give the guy who bet $100,000 on her earlier in the week a few heart palpitations.
