FRIDAY, 19 AUGUST, 2016 OAKS DOUBLE FOR BOWMAN PROVIDES UPDATE ON WINX, WERTHER SEVENTH HEAVEN by Amanda Duckworth, courtesy IFHA Australia=s Winx (Aus) (Street Cry {Ire}), who is scheduled to start her spring campaign in Saturday=s G2 Warwick S., is riding a nine-race winning streak. A man with a unique perspective into the star mare, is her regular jockey Hugh Bowman, who has piloted Winx to victory in some of her most memorable performances. AI feel a high level of responsibility when I ride Winx,@ Bowman told Amanda Duckwork, reporting for the IFHA. AHowever, I don't feel the pressure of the winning streak. I just try to make sure I don't set her an impossible task, and I know I can rely on her to produce her best.@ Cont. p14 IN TDN AMERICA TODAY RED HOT BROWN NOT RESTING ON HIS LAURELS Mike Kane sits down with Chad Brown to discuss his stable’s Seventh Heaven | Racing Post success, which sees the native New Yorker atop the Saratoga trainers’ standings midway through the meet.

(Galileo {Ire}) might be in jeopardy off a break with Seventh Heaven (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in attendance and his warning proved well-founded as the July 16 G1 Irish Oaks winner upstaged her Ballydoyle companion in Thursday=s G1 Darley Yorkshire Oaks. While the pair were in line for the most part, fitness told from two furlongs down as Colm O=Donoghue elicited the same dynamic response that had been evident at the end of the Curragh Classic and that was the telling factor. At the line, there was 2 3/4 lengths separating the stable companions, with the field strung out behind and the third Queen=s Trust (GB) (Dansili {GB}) the only British representative denying an Irish whitewash. AShe was a Classic filly getting allowances off the older fillies, so we took advantage of it,@ O=Donoghue said. AShe has a great temperament and is tough and genuine with a beautiful action.@ Other than her sixth placing, beaten 33 lengths, in the G1 Epsom Oaks where she reportedly failed to handle the track, Seventh Heaven has a progressive profile this season with wins in a mile maiden at Dundalk Apr. 18 and the May 7 Listed Lingfield Oaks Trial preceding her dominating Irish Oaks performance.

"She's definitely matured and she's 10 kilos heavier than this time last year, but obviously that will come down as we start to get her a bit fitter. She won't run until the [G2] Duke of York at the earliest or there's the Temple S. a week later or a race in Ireland. She'll have entries for all of them and we'll see nearer the time where we go.@ "As we stand, if the ground on the slow side of good I'd favour Haydock as she loves Haydock,@ Burke added. "She's unbeaten there and she's not short of speed so five furlongs wouldn't worry me.
