  • Mighty mare marks 30th consecutive win

Mighty mare Winx has won her 30th consecutive race, blasting past a field of eight in the Apollo Stakes at Randwick Racecourse on Saturday.

The seven-year-old finished comfortably down the outside, passing front-runner Tom Melbourne and challenger Happy Clapper with a few hundred metres to race, winning by two lengths.

It was a tight start, with Winx out marginally last, but jockey Hugh Bowman kept her out of trouble further back in the field, before opening up on the home straight to win a third Apollo Stakes in race-record time.

Winx becomes the first Australian horse to win thirty consecutive races, but remains a little behind the world’s best ever run, Puerto Rico’s Camarero who boasts 56 wins in a row.
