If you bet on her you can collect your winnings and then get the ticket back to save as a souvenir. Great idea

Wins for fun like the true champion she is. Amazing training job to keep her going for 4 years at that level

Winx has accomplished a lot and it's no easy feat. Huge congratulations to her going out a winner.

Yet, I got kind of bored. Yeah, I wrote that, bored. Fantastic winners like her are nothing to sneeze at. However, I get more excited about horses who run outside of their comfort zone.

When I think of extraordinary horses I think of those such as Enable who has won G1s in the UK, France, and the U.S. I know not all horses handle traveling well yet I truly believe Winx would have been brilliant at Ascot like Australia’s Black Caviar and the U.S.’s Lady Aurelia. Even if they had sent Winx to Dubai, I think she would have been wonderful. I just got bored of her doing the same ‘ol, same ‘ol.

Dare I say it? For me, it started feeling as if I was watching the Pepper’s Pride of Australia. Not that Pepper’s Pride is in any way the same league as Winx, it just became boring for me, anyway.

My hope is that she produces great runners that participate and win in races around the world. Now that will be a huge accomplishment.

Bored ? When a hoss we had won 2 claiming races in a row it was the biggest thrill ever. Never got bored watching Winx or Zenyatta or Songbird win win win. Graded Stake after graded stake.
