(CNN)Australian wonder horse Winx set a new world record for Group 1 wins Saturday as she stretched her incredible unbeaten run to 31 races.
A hard-fought victory in the Chipping Norton Stakes at Sydney’s Royal Randwick racecourse was her 23rd in the highest class of thoroughbred racing, underlining her status as the top-rated horse on the planet.
Odds-on favorite Winx trailed early pacesetter Happy Clapper coming into the final turn of the 1600m race before producing her trademark finishing burst under jockey Hugh Bowman to win comfortably at the post.
