Record-breaking mare Winx has claimed her final race victory in one last dominant performance in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick.
The Hugh Bowman-ridden horse signed off in typical fashion on Saturday, breezing through the field before pulling away to win at The Championships meeting.

Winx has also claimed her 20th victory at Randwick, where she has claimed the vast majority of her 33 race wins.

Revealed: How Winx can be traced back to Phar LapA distant link between two of the best horses Australia has ever seen has been discovered as Winx prepares to hit the track for the last time. This is a silly story. Firstly no horse can be 'traced back to Phar Lap because Phar Lap had no offspring. Secondly, all throughbreds are related, and thousands of horses will have ecactly the same relationship to Phar Lap. You should include a footnote that says '*applies to all other horses in the race' How does this translate to 'surprised' when he clearly states the exact opposite?
