2017 Turnbull Stakes Form Guide: Winx Statistics

Winx debuts at Flemington Racecourse this weekend and the mighty mare is at impossibly short odds to post her 21st straight turf triumph, so below we take a look at the full Turnbull Stakes 2017 form guide and betting statistics to see just how likely another Winx win is.

After running down Happy Clapper for her 20th win on the trot in the Group 1 George Main Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on September 16, trainer Chris Waller made the call to race Winx at Flemington for the first time on way to the Ladbrokes Cox Plate.

The dual defending Cox Plate champion will be out to further prove her freakish ability and versatility at Headquarters on Saturday in the Group 1 $500,000 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) and the bookies are taking no chances.

The superlative daughter of Street Cry has eased slightly in Turnbull Stakes odds at Ladbrokes.com.au, but still dominates betting as the $1.18 favourite.

The danger causing the Turnbull Stakes drift on Winx? Humidor.

Darren Weir’s five-year-old is a two-time Group 1 winner at Flemington including the outstanding romp home last start in the Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m).

So does the Turnbull Stakes form guide, betting history and statistical date on the spring feature suggest Winx can be beaten?

Winx is out to be the second odds-on favourite in as many years to win the Turnbull Stakes after Hartnell ($1.90) last year
