Winx short odds to win her own race

Winx has a race named in her honour, the Winx Stakes (1400m) at Randwick, and Sportsbet.com.au has her at prohibitive odds to kick off her Cox Plate defence.

The champion mare is shooting for an unprecedented fourth Cox Plate but in the Winx Stakes will look to pass Black Caviar with 26 straight wins. Sportsbet have opened markets on the remaining features for 2018 and have her at $1.10.

On the next line of betting is star colt Kementari at $11, but with talk he could be a potential Everest horse, I highly doubt he’d resume at 1400m in August. Happy Clapper, another in Everest talks, is at $15, alongside D’Argento.
