Winx added another record to her growing number of achievements when she claimed her twenty-sixth straight win with another come from behind first up performance in the Group 1 $500,000 Winx Stakes (1400m) at Randwick last Saturday.

The Winx Stakes was the Chris Waller trained mare’s nineteenth Group 1 victory and her twenty-sixth straight win, surpassing Brave Caviar’s record of twenty-five consecutive victories which Winx equalled with her win in the Group 1 $4m Longines Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on April 14, day two of The Championships.

Winx will be trying to make it a hat trick of George Main Stakes win after claiming the trophy in 2016 and 2017 and Waller is happy to give the headline mare four weeks in between runs.

“It was her first race since the Queen Elizabeth in April and we’ve been planning her return since then,” Waller told AAP.

“You always think they’ve come back well and it’s a relief when they do.

“She is an uncomplicated horse but there were a couple of moments in the race when I wondered.

“She will go to the Colgate Optic White George Main next. The mile (1600m) will suit and we don’t need to be over-racing her.”

Winx now holds the Australian record for the most number of consecutive wins and the headline mare will be looking to set another record later in her Spring Carnival campaign when she attempts to win her fourth straight Group 1 $5m Ladbrokes Cox Plate (2040m) at The Valley on October 27.
