Predictable. Fell in against a bunch of off season listed horses.
Probably should retire now, will get beat in the QE if any real horses turn up

Probably the best perspective today on her, was actually after the race.
She was still prancing around, little happy leaps.
Could have done another lap.

Simply a breathtaking elite athlete.

Testament to her ability? Have a look at the Ryder stakes without Winx? Probably the worst Ryder we have seen!! No one with a brain wants to take her on. That's how good she is

No one is good enough to compete again her. Weak era for a mile onwards racing.

She is a champion though...we all know that
Australian racing is only good up to 1400m in terms of world standards when it comes to depth/quality in numbers

The runner up might go well in the Doncaster.

As suspected the Ranvet showed up Unforgotten and Egg Tart as average horses.

Not saying Winx would have lost, but at least have some actual G1 competition.

Hopefully the top 3 all go in the QA to bring some interest to the race.

How surprising. Winx continues to smash all the best horses in the country and Jamal, Chris B and others continue to bag her. The absolute dumbness defies belief.

It's pretty obvious i meant QE.

Just hope some good horses turn up and make it a race, not just a farewell against donkeys.

I'm not saying she isn't the best.

But to see such a rubbish Ryder field and a strong Ranvet field is just crap.

I know it's not Winx fault but it's rubbish racing.

I'm not sure if it's weak era or not. The same thing happened with black caviar. Hay list would of been a champion without black caviar. The bench mark just changes when a proper horse appears on the scene. How good would happy clapper have been at his best? I'm sure his program would look different because of her. We breed the same amount every year! Just sometimes genetic freaks appear. We have seen 3 in a short space? Because we all keep forgetting makybe diva ??

But yes, still pretty ordinary/thin.

Pretty much sums up most of her career sadly.

That a horse can smash all ours first up (outside Avilius) says a fair bit.
