This time, there was less drama. Winx, the reigning Australian Horse of the Year, won her 20th consecutive race in Saturday’s Group 1 Colgate Optic White Stakes at a mile on turf at Royal Randwick Racecourse outside of Sydney. Unlike her win in the Group 2 Warwick Stakes on Aug. 19, when she missed the break and rallied to win by a head, or her win in the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes on Sept. 2, when she caught runaway leader Red Excitement in the final 50 yards, Winx had a more conventional trip in the $399,000 race, which is more commonly known as the George Main Stakes. Under regular rider Hugh Bowman, Winx (the 2-17 favorite) closed from seventh in a field of eight in the final quarter-mile to take the lead in the final furlong and win by 1 1/2 lengths over 14-1 Happy Clapper. Trained by Chris Waller, Winx has won 24 of 30 starts in her career. A 6-year-old mare by Street Cry, Winx began her winning streak in May 2015. Winx, considered the world’s highest-rated turf runner, has won six races this year. The main goal this fall for Winx is a third consecutive win in the Group 1 Cox Plate at about 1 1/4 miles on turf at Moonee Valley Racecourse on Oct. 28. The Cox Plate is Australia’s top weight-for-age race. Waller indicated that Winx will have a prep race for the Cox Plate and said plans would be finalized in the coming days.
