Post All Hail Winx, Arrogate, Lady Aurelia
I have followed racing for a long time but rarely do you see a horse dominate with the ease or the elegance of Winx, She simply is machanical and never misses a step

Arrogate is much the same as Winx but has a slightly lazy action to himself and always requires niggling in races but comes home like a steam train

Lady Aurelia is simply a bullet pretending to be a racehorse, She is sooooooo fast it's scary and it almost seemed like she only had to half try in the King Stand Stakes which makes her a freak, I very much look forward to her winning the Nunthorpe at York in August because it been an age since we have seen a Lochsong( A filly who who dish out a beating to anyone), As long as the trip is 5f she cannot be beaten!!!!

Yeah Winx is a freak!
There is jockey cam of Winx winning earlier in the year in the George Ryder Stakes on a slow or heavy track. In the home straight Winx just glides past and boots away. Amazing!

Arrogate - didn't race well on the weekend - like you said, he needs to be niggled at and really only stretched out for a furlong and lost interest. Either something is amiss with him, it just wasn't his day or he's not interested in racing any more.

Lady Aurelia - has to do more in my opinion - a stint in Australia for the big sprints would settle any doubt.

Arrogate looked completly uninterested in the racing game at the weekend and that might be all she wrote for his career, I hope not but he has already made it into the breeding barn so either way he's a success

Winx is a freak your very correct in that statement, surely a 3rd Cox plate is just going to happen

Lady Aurelia to me is the fastest 5f horse in the world, She will go to Australia after york (Nunthorpe thumping is very likely), but 6f is never going to show her true talent and the Everest for me is just an attempt by the owners to try and grab some place money, I cannot think of one horse who would get near her at 5f!!!!!!

I hope she comes out to Oz - plenty of money on offer to make it worth her while.

I think a third Cox Plate for Winx is just a formality.

There is talk of her heading to England after that.

Not sure if Winx will come and smash our average horses up, I think she will be 7 by the time the next Royal Ascot rolls around and for me i think retirement will be more likely, would loved to be wrong about that

I think she'll be 6.

After the Cox Plate there will be nothing left to chase in Australia so it will be England or retirement.

Well that could be the plan if they take her to England for a run or two then of to Frankel or Galileo.
That foal would sell for a record amount!

They would have to race the foal in Europe as a 2 & 3 year old as it
would be a northern hemisphere foal so I doubt that will happen

Yes agree Doug but would the Owners like having a european based horse especially out of Winx who is becoming
an Australian legend.

Frankel & Galileo will be out in a field when Southern Hemisphere breeding season begins so if they go to
either of them it will be February to May id imagine therefore the offspring could not race in Australia as a
juvenile and part of its 3 year old campaign.

They may bring her home while she's pregnant - but they may just keep her there and sell the foal.
They may also just take her to England for Ascot and then bring her home.
If she has a light campaign this spring then I think she'll travel.

Post Re: All Hail Winx, Arrogate, Lady Aurelia
even if they send her home pregnant the foal will have been bred on the northern hemisphere breeding season

Sires don't breed here after June

effectively she could go to Galileo in Feb still run in prince of wales and go home carrying

but still means the offspring could not race in Aus a a 2yo or half its 3yo campaign

all highly unlikely send her to Fastnet Rock down there
