| Tatts Club Chelmsford Stakes G2 3U OPEN ($252,000), 1600m 1:34.11 | |
| Race Synopsis: Winx was amazing, yet again, in taking out her 19th successive victory. She began well on this occasion (racing in ear muffs for the first time, after missing the start badly before her first-up win in the Warwick Stakes (Gr 2, 1400m) here on 19 August and settled back in fifth place, behind a good tempo. Hugh Bowman took her to a distant fourth nearing the home turn, when conceding the leader (Red Excitement) about eight lengths. She went to second at the 200m, still some five lengths back, before coming with her relentless finishing bid to hit the front at the 50m and then go on to score courageously. Red Excitement, having his second run this preparation, went to the front as expected but Josh Parr led him run along, establishing a large advantage at the 800m. He was only overhauled in the final 50m after a bold performance for a very good second. The New Zealand-trained Chocante, having his first run since winning the Brisbane Cup (Gr 2, 2200m) at Doomben in June, chased the leader (Red Excitement) and put up a really good effort in holding on for third. | |
