Winx, con in sella Hugh Bowman, per Chris Waller, ha raggiunto la quota 33 vittorie consecutive di cui 25 a livello di G1. Numeri devastanti. Ha concluso i 2000 metri finendo in 2m 2.54s e battendo il giapponese Kluger (King Kamehameha) per una lunghezza e mezza, e Hartnell (Authorized) pluribattuto da una cavalla strepitosa.
Il solito anonimo scommettitore, che durante la vita e la carriera di Winx ha seguito tutto con scommesse piazzate come bombe, ha giocato per l'ultima missione l'equivalente di $550,000 (US$394,000) per avere un ricavo di $33,000 sulla vittoria, in 2 minuti circa di show. Ora è entrata di diritto e definitivamente nel museo dei più grandi campioni australiani come Phar Lap, Makybe Diva e Black Caviar.
La carriera in numeri di Winx, con tantissimi dati a supporto, è disponibile più sotto. Intanto ci godiamo ancora una volta l'ultima apparizione in pista della campionessa che proprio qualche ora prima della sua ultima fatica, ha fatto penare il suo allenatore perchè in un canter di allenamento ha scalciato verso una staccionata, pertanto prima della corsa ha dovuto superare anche un meticoloso test veterinario. Il suo allenatore ha poi dichiarato di non averle messo i tappi nelle orecchie, vezzi da star dunque.
Ci si chiede come abbia fatto a non vincere le altre 6 corse della carriera, sulle 43 disputate in generale, con 37 vittorie, 3 secondi posti, e 3 np. Incredibile solo a pensarci. Grazie di tutto Winx, buon ritiro e buona pensione..in razza!
