R6 RANDWICK16 September 2017
Colgate Optic White Stakes G1 3U OPEN ($505,000), 1600m 1:33.65
Race Synopsis: Winx put up another phenomenal performance in winning here – her 20th successive win and her 13th Group One victory. She was a bit slow to move, settled back in sixth place, behind a strong tempo (leaders running first 1000m in 58.69). Hugh Bowman asked her to improve nearing the 600m, where she was conceding the leader (Red Excitement) eight lengths. She responded to riding from the 300m, dashed to the front at the 100m and then drew clear for another amazing win - plus in the fast time of 1:33.65. Happy Clapper was back in fifth place at the 600m, some six lengths from the leader. He moved up well to take the lead at the lead at the 200m, and then fought gamely for second, staging a top-class effort against a champion. Foxplay had a good run in fourth place, improved from the 300m, and then kept battling on really well to take a most respectable third.

    If that run doesnt say she would stay all day then I will never watch another horse race in my life, niggled from the 1000m mark just to wake her up and 1 tap and all over. What a complete outright no other words can explain her IMMORTAL LEGEND she is here today for us to see History rewritten as the best horse we have seen in 100yrs. Magic. Bring on the Cox Plate and why not come back next yr and make it 4 in a row. She just does it so easy. Hugh can put her anywhere and at Moonee Valley she will be sitting about 3rd or 4th 4 lengths off the leaders and will put 3 lengths on the field.
