World record win for Winx

Mighty mare Winx has stormed home to claim her 31st consecutive race win, with victory in the $600,000 Chipping Norton Stakes over 1600m at Royal Randwick.

The race’s only mount not trained by Chris Waller, Pat Webster’s Happy Clapper finished a gallant second after working up a big lead to the final turn, while Unforgotten ran third.

The victory was Winx’s fourth in a row in the Chipping Norton and her 23rd Group One triumph, one more than retired northern hemisphere jumper Hurricane Fly and a world record.
