No stopping Winx in the Turnbull Stakes Wonder-mare Winx produced a stunning late turn of foot to win the Tab Turnbull Stakes and complete a 28th consecutive victory. The Chris Waller-trained seven-year-old looked to have it all to do behind a bunch of horses turning into the straight at Flemington but jockey Hugh Bowman once again unleashed her late in the piece to ultimately score comfortably by a lengths. It was a 21st straight success at Group One level and next up for Winx is a return to Moonee Valley where she'll attempt to create history and win a fourth Cox Plate later this month. Waller admitted after the race that he didn't have many concerns over the potential for traffic problems in the home straight, saying: "The way Hughie rode her was perfect. That's how you ride a racehorse. "Go to the apprentice school on Monday and show them that and every apprentice will turn out to be a genius if they ride like that. "Obviously when you are riding Winx, you do need to try not to get held up. But it's Flemington and he got out with 400 metres to run. "At Moonee Valley you are still looking for runs at that stage and at Caulfield you are still looking for runs at that stage, but we are at Flemington. "In reality, she only made up five lengths in 400 metres."
