Mighty Mare Winx’s Memorable Turnbull Stakes Double

The Turnbull Stakes honour roll is a who’s who of champion Australian and international racehorses including the incomparable mare Winx who claimed back-to-back wins in the Group 1 feature in 2017 and 2018.

The 2000m race at Flemington for horses 4YO and over is a traditional preparatory race for stars eyeing a path towards the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup.

In 2017 and 2018, the Chris Waller-trained Winx completed back-to-back wins and is the only horse to capture consecutive Turnbull Stakes wins since Vo Rogue’s back-to-back feat in 1987 and 1988.

Along with Winx, other high-profile horses to have saluted in the Turnbull over the last 25 years include Incentivise (2021), Verry Elleegant (2020), Green Moon (2012), Zipping (2010), Efficient (2009), Makybe Diva (2005), Elvestroem (2004), Northerly (2002) and Sunline (2001).
