What a disgrace,nobody cares about Winx winning a 4th Cox Plate against a 12 year Galio Chop and 16 year old Hartnell

Except for the owners who will pick up another 10m bucks if she races on for another season.

Why travel half way across the world to race on goat tracks for red cordial and fairy bread when you can make big bucks here creating history.

Was never going.

Because winning 1 overseas group 1 race is far superior to winning 4 Cox Plates in a shit era where your main rival was Hartnell,she could win 8 Cox Plates and it still means nothing.

Shame she is not being tested overseas.


Instead they chose the cash and the chance to continue to beat up on Plodders.



I’d love it if a crack 3yr old came out in the spring and knocked her off. Just to spite the knob owners.

100% they have taken the easy option.

As a racing fan I want to see her take on (and whoopass) on the international stage. She’s beaten every decent horse in this country already and beat them pointlessly.

Where’s the sporting challenge of having her hang around here for another 6 months taking on fields of half a dozen horses?

She’s already won 3 Cox Plates, that’s put her into immortal status already in this country, winning a 4th doesn’t really prove anything imo.

People will say ‘let them come here nothing is stopping them’ but let’s face facts even with the mega bucks that we throw around we still barely get any internationals except for plodding handicappers at Melbourne Cup time.

If not Ascot why didn’t they consider Dubai? Or even honkers or Japan all much closer to home and decent international competition.

For mine if she doesn’t travel and compete then she will always have a * next to her legacy.

Sorry mate but I’ve loaded up as well.

Carrying the grandstand.
Spin reminds me of intruder from last year, missed the slipper, next run comes out and kills it, $4.80 looks overs, Futooh looks a chance at 16s as well, loaded up but have Futooh as the saver.
