Who is Winx?
Winx is an Australian racehorse who won 33 consecutive races, including four Cox Plates, between 2015 and 2019. She is considered one of the greatest racehorses in Australian history.
Winx was foaled in 2011 and trained by Chris Waller in Sydney. Her regular jockey was Hugh Bowman.
She began her winning streak in May 2015 and did not lose again until her retirement in April 2019. Her streak included 25 Group 1 victories, a world record.
Four Cox Plates
Winx won the Cox Plate, one of Australia's most prestigious races, four times, from 2015 to 2018. No other horse has won the race four times.
She was rated the world's best racehorse by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities in some years. Her fans followed her races closely and packed racecourses to see her.
Winx retired after winning the Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick in April 2019, in front of a large crowd. She was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame. A statue of Winx stands at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse in Sydney.
