Members bolty58 Posted October 8, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 8, 2018 She really is a freak mate. If she wins a 4th consecutive W.S. Cox Plate, I believe that will be a feat that will never be equalled. Of course every man and his dog is a Winx fan these days. Wouldn't have my money riding on her at prices like 1.09, stone cold 'better than bank interest' certainty that she is. I was one of the lucky ones who saw her potential early so had some good collects at what would now be viewed as astronomical odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted October 12, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 12, 2018 You could do worse. Highly unlikely that she will have her colours lowered. Moonee Valley is a specialists course and she absolutely fucking loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bolty58 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2018 Almost luxury odds those. It would be miraculous if something was to lower her colours. Having said that - the vagaries of racing. She could get knocked over at the turn. Can't see it though. Might have to be the whole bank going on if I can get $1.37.

Traf Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I laid at 1.10 with a view to re-backing in running for a green screen. Took that 4/7 from PP instead for a small profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 Well mate - it should be as cast iron as any horse racing result could be expected to be. The vagaries of horse racing are what make it interesting but I can't see her putting a single foot wrong over her favourite track and distance. She owns Moonee Valley and has been her usual faultless self again during this most recent campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Either way, I'm guaranteed a payout at the equivalent of 1.42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only see freakish circumstances or an absolute racing freak emerging to stop her making history which I believe would never be repeated.

Traf Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 No danger of someone just blocking her off? Although he sectional times for the last 2f were exceptional LTO, it was her least comfortable win and you could see there might be danger if someone wanted to cause it.

Widnes Two Hats Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 William Hills still giving 1.4 so I've chucked £100 on just for a bit of excitement, might up that depending on how todays gambling goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the replays of her previous 3 Cox Plate wins you would think that someone would have to blatantly body check her to knock her out of her stride. She's a nuggety strong bugger. Barrier draw could be interesting I suppose. If she gets an inside one, who knows. If I remember rightly, she got barrier one in her first cox plate win and absolutely poleaxed them. I wouldn't really be worried about doing your money. 99.999% chance you won't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If she gets beat, the Aussie racing media will go into meltdown. They're already foaming at the mouth because Yucatan is a non-runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hoping Benbatl makes it a decent contest if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traf Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'm not convinced the draw is particularly relevant to Winx's chances to be honest. She doesn't front run, so doesn't need to grab a spot near a rail etc. 7 hours ago, bolty58 said: The barrage has started since Cox Plate week began:- https://www.racenet.com.au//news/the-two-things-that-can-beat-winx-in-the-2018-cox-plate-20181023 https://www.racenet.com.au//news/2018-cox-plate-field-and-barrier-draw-20181023 https://www.racenet.com.au//news/deja-vu-at-the-2018-cox-plate-barrier-draw-for-winx-20181023 https://www.racenet.com.au//news/why-winx-is-a-smarty-pants-20181023 https://www.racenet.com.au//news/punter-has-$45-000-on-benbatl-to-end-winx-s-unbeaten-streak-20181023 What's this strike about and will it have an affect?
