Winx goes alone in Cox Plate track gallop

Hugh Bowman has put Cox Plate favourite Winx through her paces in a solo gallop in preparation for a history-making tilt at the weight-for-age race.

Winx was first out onto the Moonee Valley course at Tuesday morning’s public trackwork session for her hit-out ahead of Saturday’s $3 million race.

A large crowd converged on Winx’s stall before the gallop to see the champion saddled up.
