As emphatic a Cox Plate victory as you'll see. A swish of the tail and Winx was off. What a champion.

That's the MOST dominant performance I've ever seen by a racehorse. Winx, what a champ ...

Winx! That was Bradmanesque - half as good again as the rest. Up there - at least - with any champion horse in modern memory. #CoxPlate
