I was actually reading some of the comments left on Chris Waller's twitter page last night which was a hodge podge of Aussies applauding the decision followed inherently by European racing fans winding up and taking their best shots. One particular tweet resonated with me though and it was posted by an Aussie racing fan who tweeted "Imagine shutting these flogs up! Not now...". Mind you this decision couldn't come at a worse time for Australian sports fans considering the whole Australian cricket team ball tampering scandal currently occurring.

Cricket though is irrelevant as far as racing goes, although cricket is more honest here, than racing, in my humble opinion!!!!!!!
As for Winx why would she need to travel?
The money here is very good apparently, and she is on a hiding to nothing.
She is seven on 1/8/18 so her best days are surely behind her I would have thought.
Also if she is the best as the ratings say she is, then should they not come to her?
I am intrigued why females are usually top of the heap in Australia these days.
Does the banning of anabolic steroids here help the females?
Black Caviar
Makybe Diva
Winx
Our three best horses for a zillion years apparently and all female.
