The Apollo Stakes may only be a group two race worth A$250,000 but for Chris Waller it held significant importance for the career of his astonishing mare Winx.
For us on the outside peering in, the equation looks simple.
She's the equal-highest-rated horse in the world and light years ahead
of anything that Australian racing can serve up to her.
She would just turn up and easily account for the challengers, as she had done for her previous 29 starts.
And that she did, powering straight past Happy Clapper and Egg Tart, who filled the placings.
