Description:
Nobody expected it to be this close, but Winx has completed her Ladbrokes Cox Plate three-peat on Oct. 28.
Starting a prohibitive 0.18-1 favorite, Winx settled midfield in the 2,040-meter (about 1 1/4-mile) championship at Moonee Valley in Melbourne, and got to the front easily enough with about a quarter-mile to run.
But she then had an unexpected challenge from Group 1 winner Humidor, who had been more than seven lengths behind her in the Group 1 Seppelt Turnbull Stakes three weeks ago.
