Winx long odds on for 11th straight win

Winx runs away with last year's Cox Plate

Australian superstar Winx will face seven rivals when she bids for an 11th straight win in the Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.

The winner of 14 of her 20 starts, including six at Group 1 level, Chris Waller's mare is long odds on. She faces only two rivals currently trading at shorter than 40-1 – the three-year-old Prized Icon, who will be bidding to become the first of his age to win the race in 30 years, and Hartnell, who won the 2014 Queen’s Vase when trained by Mark Johnston but was no match for Winx when she returned from a break with the easiest of wins in the Group 2 Warwick Stakes at Randwick last month.
