Alabama Stakes 04-14-2018 05:34 AM

And the train keeps rolling. The song remains the same. Lots of happy fans. Maybe one other guy not so happy or impressed. Even implied she was facing no legitimate competition.

Great race. Comes from dead last, goes 6-wide on final turn and wins going away.

Love the extended overhead view after the start. It gives a much better view of what's happening than the standard nearer-ground level view.

My New Greatest Fillie/Mare
 
Yes, folks, this Fillie is an all-time great
I think she wins against the boys the grass, the dirt the poly!
She has the same turn of foot as Zenyatta, the stamina of Pharlap, Big competitive heart like Secretariat and the good owner and trainer that take care of her
Long live Zenyatta, Sea Bird II, Rachel A., Azari and all the new Queen and Champ

How many horses hang around to run in a race that was named for them?That has to be a first.
Very windy and hectic conditions tonight.

ADJMK 08-18-2018 12:05 AM

Looked vunerable at top of stretch but powers away for her 26th straight.

Alabama Stakes 08-18-2018 12:12 AM

Looked beat....but this Winx is just crazy good. What a scintillating run. What was she like 8th at the quarter pole and 3 clear at the 1/16 pole ?

Alabama Stakes 08-18-2018 12:14 AM

26 in a row looking every bit the Champion that she is. What a legend.

Just wanted to give the guy who bet $100,000 on her earlier in the week a few heart palpitations.

The birthday girl with a tremendous turn of foot to go from last to first for 27in a row. 20 group 1 wins. When she kicks in , look out.

ADJMK 09-15-2018 12:16 AM

Chalk up another one. Didn't look like she was coming and then in the words of Hugh Bowman "The turbo kicked in "

richard burch 09-18-2018 09:08 PM

Incredible animal and arguably the BEST turf horse ever.

ADJMK 10-05-2018 11:05 PM

Back in tonight. G1 $500,00 Turnball Stakes Race 5 at Flemington. Stretching back out to 1 1/4. Race goes around 1.00am EDT or 10.00 PST. Worth staying up for.

Perspective is never a bad thing.

Just an amazing performance once again, way back, slow pace , with one hoss beaten , no room to run, and looked like the streak was over. If it was anyone else, they would have been off the board. She has a winning gear that she kicks into and mows them down like Zenyatta. What a spectacular animal. They love her so much in Oz.


28 in a row now ...21 grade 1 .... cat got your tongue?

My heart was pounding so hard. There must have been a couple of heart attacks in oz after that

jnunan4759 10-06-2018 11:44 AM

I have to think she is very aware of what she is doing and enjoys it. She has to be aware of all the fans and her connections and what goes on in these races and after. Tremendously special.
