That’s the question on everyone’s lips as champion mare Winx kicks off another spring campaign in the race named in her honour, the $ 500,000 Group 1 Winx Stakes at Royal Randwick.
JOCKEY CAM: TAKE A RIDE ON WINX?
Trainer James Cummings says Kementari is working too well not to have a crack at Winx second-up, with the Lonhro entire’s regular rider Glyn Schofield one of the few jockeys to publicly say that Winx can be beaten.
Kementari was quickly installed as an $ 8 second favourite behind Winx, who drifted from $ 1.10 to $ 1.20 with the TAB since Wednesday after Cummings entered his star in the race.
As it stands, Winx currently shares the record for consecutive wins with another legendary mare, Black Caviar, at 25.
Formerly the Warwick Stakes, Chris Waller’s mighty mare has already won this race twice.
It promises to be a true test for arguably our greatest ever racehorse.
Follow all the action in the window below as we build to a thrilling climax when the gates fly back at 3pm this afternoon.
