Legendary mare Winx will race for what is expected to be the second-last time today when she competes in the George Ryder Stakes at Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney.
The race is scheduled to begin at 2:45pm AEDT on Saturday 23 March.
If you’re in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania or the ACT, you’re in the AEDT time zone so the race will start for you at 2:45pm.
If you’re in South Australia, then you’re in the ACDT time zone so the race will start for you at 2:15pm.
If you’re watching from Queensland, then you’re in the AEST time zone and the race will be starting for your from 1:45pm.
If you’re watching from the Northern Territory, then you’re in the ACST time zone and the race will start for tou at 1:15pm.
Finally, if you’re in Western Australia, then you’re on AWST time and you’ll see the race starting at 11:45am.
Winx will head into the race as the favourite and if she wins it will take her to 32 consecutive victories. Another win in the Queen Elizabeth – billed as her final race – would see her finish on 33.
“Rosehill has been her place of training for the majority of her career and it’s where she lives. So it’s her home track,” said trainer Chris Waller.
“It’s very likely it will be her last run here. I think there’s more thought, however, going into the actual race and just preparing her and making sure she’s 100 per cent.
“We’ll get sentimental after the race, no doubt, but at this stage it’s full steam ahead for Rosehill on Saturday which looks to be a great day.
“The Golden Slipper day is always a big day in Australian racing and to have Winx there is an added bonus, I’m sure.
“The beauty of training Winx is that she is effective in all track conditions and we are certainly unsure of how the track will dry out ahead of Saturday’s race but it could well stay in the heavy range.”
