10.99 last 200 meters. Equates to about 11.04 last furlong.

I've watched it several times already. She's amazing. She's so smart, she knows when to turn it on, when to really roll. A joy to watch!!!

What's amazing about this horse is that I think she was 70-80 percent of what she usually is. She was off the bridle and was really being scrubbed on to get into the race. Once she wanted to turn it on, it was over. Incredible.

Watching the replay Winx powers to the lead in the lane,yet Bowman geared her down right after hitting the wire,is that a good idea generally.
See this often a horse draws off and gets shut down early instead of gradually slowing down,can this affect some horses future performances[Winx excluded].

Agreed. She was all out in the previous two races, but it looked like she was coasting home in this one.

what a brilliant horse. Pulling her up right before the wire caused her to change leads and go into the path of the 2nd place horse after the wire, they could have clipped heals-not wise by the jock IMHO

Almost all Aussie jockeys are all very fond of easing up after they "hit the front" a little before the wire. I suppose they think helping the horse save something for the next time. Maybe it does help the horse, but it kind of bugs me. Luke Nolen famously almost over did it at Ascot with Black Caviar.

Almost blew it. I would have been a pissed off owner if I would have lost that race.
