Winx could be honoured with a statue at Moonee Valley
Winx looks certain to create history when she sets out to claim her fourth successive Cox Plate at Moonee Valley and the feat could also see her become a permanent fixture at the Melbourne racecourse.
The Moonee Valley Racing Club are reportedly considering immortalising Winx with a statue as part of the $2 billion transformation at the track.
“She is a big part of The Valley’s history, and we will be making sure she is a part of The Valley’s future as well,” MVRC chief executive ÂMichael Browell told the Herald Sun.
“As a three-time Cox Plate winner she is already a legend of the club, and a legend of the turf. But if she can win a fourth, that would be unbelievable,”
The 2018 Cox Plate is expected to be Winx’s swansong at Moonee Valley with a capacity crowd expected to farewell the champion mare.
