'Australian racehorse Winx made history by extending her record of consecutive wins with a 30th straight victory.

The mare, trained by Chris Waller, broke the track record in winning the Apollo Stakes at Royal Randwick in Sydney by two lengths from Happy Clapper in front of a bumper crowd.'

Only needs another 27 straight wins to beat the world record.

Needs to get to Dubai to race against Enable. Won't happen though.

I thought maybe a polite football fan had been mugged at Boro.

one could argue that Melbourne offers the perfect opportunity for winx to take on all comers ......massive crowds , scantily clad bimbo's , free flowing alcohol , pristine racetracks , flemington , caulfield , mooney valley .........subsidised air travel and huge prize /appearance money .....there have been a few great Aussie horses , octagonal , maybe diva and now winx.......hugh bowman who rides her is a multi millionaire purely on her rides.......it would be great to see her race other supposedly elite horses but i doubt they would risk the dubai trip ....i don't think she's raced out of Aus yet...!!

Impossible to really judge the quality of any Aussie horse as they rarely ever leave their shores to compete against the cream of the crop.

Let's see them at the Breeders Cup, Royal Ascot or the Dubai Festival then we'll know how good the Aussie horses really are.
