Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 7, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 7, 2018 Australian champion Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}), who will return to the races in the G1 Winx Warwick S. on Aug. 18, ran third in a Rosehill 1000-metre trial on Tuesday (video). Breaking in the first heat, the 7-year-old mare, who is looking for her 26th-straight win in the Warwick which would take her past the record she shares with Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}), was among the slowest away and raced last for the first 200 metres. Moving up at will with three furlongs remaining, she split horses leaving the turn and edged up into third at the line, while under a hard hold by regular pilot Hugh Bowman. Godolphin’s Alizee (Aus) (Sepoy {Aus}) won the trial over fellow MG1SW Ace High (Aus) (High Chaparral {Ire}) in a time of :59.10 over the Good 4 course. “I was very impressed with her,” said Bowman on Sky Racing. “I asked her to do a little bit more than I did in the first trial. She was more relaxed this morning than she was in her first trial and I think that was direct result of going to the races and having an exhibition gallop on Saturday. For me, it was a good step in the right direction. Some of that nervous energy has left her body and she’s ready to go to the races now. She felt as good as she looked. I did ask her to use herself and the response I got was very encouraging.” Added trainer Chris Waller to Racing.com, “Personally I couldn’t be any happier with this morning’s trial and she’s bang on target for two weeks’ time.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
