The apple of Australia’s eye bowed out in the most fitting of styles at her beloved Randwick yesterday, winning her third Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) and etching her name further into the record books she has so frequently re-written.

While the number 13 may be unlucky for some, April 13 has been fortuitous for two greats of the Australian Turf, with Winx’s swansong coming exactly six years to the day since the great Black Caviar (Bel Esprit) signed off with her 25th and final career victory in the T J Smith Stakes (Gr 1, 1200m) at the same venue. Quite simply, yesterday was a piece of theatre that even the most gifted of playwrights would be happy to lay claim to. As a sea of blue engulfed every confine of Randwick’s Winx AMANDA WOOD grounds, Winx remained as quiet as a churchmouse in where those for whom tickets proved elusive were seen lining the streets the preliminaries, completely that surround the course, noses pressed up to the gate that separated unfazed by the grandeur of the them from racing immortality. occasion.

Having conceded significant ground to Kluger (King Kamehameha), who scraped the paint up the inner, the champion briefly afforded first run to the Japanese raider before surging down the outside, her adoring fans in full voice as she powered to the line with seemingly any amount in hand.

Que si multas económicas, que si puesta Sa pie, que si distanciamiento… Pues yo (opinión entre poco y nada popular, lo sé) soy partidario del distanciamiento. Siempre. Lo primero que quiero explicar es que yo soy muy poco partidario de la aplicación de los distanciamientos como medida punitiva, ya que dentro de la tabla de sanciones creo que debe ser la absoluta excepción. ¿Y porque este caso sí? Entre otras cosas, porque es una medida objetiva. Los fustazos se pueden contar, no hay que apreciaciones de si molesta lo sufi ciente, poco o demasiado. Y es que junto con las sanciones de peso son de las pocas infracciones que pueden ser tasadas cuantitativamente. “Hombre, ponerle a pie por haberse excedido con la fusta peleando un Gran Premio me parece exagerado…” Nunca he entendido esa apreciación. Si vulnera el código, lo vulnera, en un Gran Premio o en una tercera parte de las nocturnas. No creo que se pueda hacer una tabla de sanciones dependiendo de la categoría de la carrera. Según esa regla de tres, si es favorito en taquillas, pues también serviría de atenuante. O si el preparador está muy necesitado, o si la cuadra lleva un ecart brutal, y así hasta la reducción al absurdo. El Código de Carreras es nuestra Tabla de la Ley, y si ese atenuante no está refl ejado, simplemente no existe. “Pero si solo se ha excedido en un fustazo”.

  • Atc Chairman's
    ATC CHAIRMAN’S COMMUNICATION TO MEMBERS JULY 2016 WINX & CHAUTAUQUA RATED WORLD’S BEST AFTER THE CHAMPIONSHIPS There were many great highlights from the Sydney Autumn Carnival, but the performances of two horses further served to highlight the strength of Sydney racing. Winx was rated the world’s best miler and best horse on turf by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities after The Championships. This followed her unbeaten Autumn campaign in Sydney where Winx took out four of our best races - the Optus Business Apollo Stakes, Precise Air Chipping Norton Stakes, China Horse Club George Ryder Stakes and that amazing victory in The Star Doncaster Mile. At the time of writing Winx remained equal second on the overall World’s Best Racehorse Rankings, and second best miler behind Japan’s A Shin Hikari. We look forward to seeing Winx in Sydney again during the Spring of 2016, where her trainer Chris Waller has already mapped out three races – the Pro-Ride Warwick Stakes at Royal Randwick on 20 August, the Tattersals Chelmsford Stakes at Royal Randwick on 3 September and the Group 1 Colgate Optic White Stakes (George Main) at Royal Randwick on 17 September. Chautauqua – who won his second successive Darley TJ Smith Stakes with an incredible last to first finish – was rated the world’s best sprinter after this win, a ranking he retains at the time of writing. He went on after The Championships to beat a world-class field in the Group 1 Hong Kong Chairman’s Sprint at Sha Tin. Congratulations to Chris Waller and Hugh Bowman for their handling of Winx, and also to Team Hawkes and Tommy Berry for their great work with Chautauqua.
