Chief Stipe Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Mentally and physically, Winx is in the right space ahead of her bid for another record-breaking performance in the Chipping Norton Stakes at Randwick. If she wins Saturday’s 1600-metre race, Winx will stand alone as the winner of 23 Group One races, one more than retired champion British jumper Hurricane Fly. The mare was given a leisurely workout at Rosehill this morning to keep her tuned up for her next assignment. Her trainer Chris Waller says he is as much in awe of Winx as everyone else. “Over five or six years, we’ve noticed the changes,” Waller said. “Comparing her to a person, she is a little bit smarter. “She knows where the winning post is. She has become used to winning. She knows what she’s doing.” Winx will have six rivals in Saturday’s race, with the Pat Webster-trained Happy Clapper the only one from outside the Waller stable and second to the mare four times including the Apollo Stakes last Saturday week. She will be aiming to take her winning streak to 31 and her Chipping Norton record to four, equal with Tie The Knot who won from 1999 to 2002.
