Champion mare Winx will make her first public appearance ahead of her spring campaign when she steps out at Royal Randwick’s Monday set of barrier trials.
“She’s good and we’re getting close now to her first-up run. It’ll probably be four weeks’ Saturday so she has her first trial on Monday at Randwick. It’ll just be a soft trial. I don’t expect her to win or do anything special, she’ll just follow them around,” Chris Waller told Sky Thoroughbred Central.
“Two weeks later she’ll have a second trial where she’ll do a little bit more and then be ready for the Warwick Stakes (August 19.
“I couldn’t be happier. It’s just a matter of maintaining her, making sure she stays safe and holds her form.”
You can watch Monday's barrier trial live on the Racing NSW website.
The accolades continue to flow for the daughter of Street Cry having recently been voted Hong Kong's 'Most Admired Overseas Horse' by the racing public.
