Pinker Pinker has only won against other fillies and mares in open class races
Greg Eurell will saddle up his leading mare Pinker Pinker for this Saturday’s Cox Plate2011 at Moonee Valley.
The six-year-old mare has performed consistently at the top level throughout her 15-start career, however, the question remains whether she can hold her own against the boys.
While she has competed in open class in the past, her only wins have been against her own sex.
The speedy filly will be fighting against the odds in Saturday’s Cox Plate, including her unfavourable barrier draw of 11, so we have put together an analysis of her winning chances below.
