Today the best two horses in the country were put to the test big time. The Cox Plate winner Winx became the first odds on shot to win the G1 $3,000,000 Doncaster Handicap, setting a weight carrying record for a mare in the process. She is now only one of a handful of her sex to win the race. And Hugh Bowman rode a peach of a race to get her home. In winning she took her prize money to more than $6.6 million. She's No 3 in the blue and well back. She settles second last. Chautauqua, probably Ascot bound made off with the G1 TJ Smith in amazing fashion. He was last away from the barrier.
Two top animals. Winx got a dream run through coming around the bend, she coasted between two others and that was the winning of the race as it was curtains once she was in the clear.
She's some sort of animal Sth, her run in the last Cox Plate was amazing. That race is the most prestigious WFA even in the country. In the blue, white pompom, mid field on the fence. Inside alley.
Great races Cyc. Thanks for showing. I think you have shown us Winx before. Great mare. Looking forward to seeing Chautauqua at Ascot. He did it the hard way
