UNLESS you are online before 6.05am, by the time you read this you will likely know the result of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Royal Randwick in Sydney, Australia. Winx, the queen of modern day racing, will have run for the final time, and hopefully won.

She made a winning start to her racing career on June 4th five years ago, and when she made her 10th start, and suffered defeat for the final time four years and two days ago, she had established herself as a very good racemare, a Group 2 winner and twice runner-up at Group 1 level.
