On Thursday evening, Winx was honored as Australia’s 2017-18 Horse of the Year for a record-equaling third time.
On Saturday at Flemington Racecourse in Flemington, Winx progressed toward a fourth such title with a dramatic win in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes, her 28th consecutive win. Winx displayed her typical late rally to move through traffic under jockey Hugh Bowman in the stretch.
There were several anxious moments before Bowman had the race secured.
In her seven-race career, the 3-year-old filly Wild Illusion has raced primarily in England, where she won the Group 1 Nassau Stakes on Aug. 2 at Goodwood in her debut against older fillies and mares.
Last fall, Wild Illusion had a successful trip to France, winning the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac on the undercard of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The Prix Marcel Boussac is France’s leading race for 2-year-old fillies.
The Breeders’ Cup has a turf race restricted to fillies and mares. In France, the female set needs no such restriction.
A filly has won the richest race in Europe, the Group 1, $5.77 million Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, in six of the past seven years, a trend that bettors, at least, expect to continue Sunday at Longchamp.

The $249,169 Kwoon Chung Bus Cup at Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong on Wednesday lacks a standout in a field of 12.
There are several runners seeking to end losing streaks, led by Packing Dragon, Sichuan Dar and Stimulation, who have faced tougher fields in recent starts.
