rdytdy 5,335 Report post Posted April 13, 2019 have a tear in their eye after Winx won her last race today. Very emotional indeed and well done with the TV coverage of the aftermath. Will we see ever see one as good? Let's hope so as without doubt it is the best way to get people to the races. Amazing scenes at Randwick today. elbow, ADM, Pegasus 9 and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Kirrama 1,478 Report post Posted April 13, 2019 Great coverage of The Randwick Day: Ted...Sir Chris Waller three Group Ones ! 101:total. Post race coverage of the Winx track gallop win was so emotional:Sir James Hugh Bowman with his bleeding split lip from Winx's post race head But ... ! His wife Christine dabbing with a tissue.Hugh remembering his brother in Law who committed suicide: Family perspectives. Did he say " She is just a Horse " ? Not even Peter Jackson could produce footage like that. I was fearful before the race that a 2 % chance could go wrong. It didn't. Who else would have taken the ear muffs off before she went through the tunnel ? After the race with Sir James Hugh Bowman parading her and going the length of the Randwick Straight and then back again....how magic was that ? Our Grand Kiddies will remember this day. elbow, CBT, rdytdy and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBT 82 Report post Posted April 13, 2019 Such a good day Ted! Peter Vlandys did a magnificent job with every single detail taken care of right down to the models he hired carrying signs of all her Group 1 victories. Still can’t believe that’s the end for her. Lots of young millennials on course today that are really none the wiser as to the significance of the day. We will never see another one like her (that’s what I said after Black Caviar) but I can’t see another horse dominating like she has for as long as she did. Thanks for the memories. rdytdy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckenzie 600 Report post Posted April 13, 2019 Yep, today was one of the great moments in racing. You rarely get fairytails and happy endings in this sport but it just all came together wonderfully. There will be more champions to come but they will never do what she has done. CBT, rdytdy and Black Kirrama 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was definitely enjoying the post race coverage without too much emotion.... but then Sir Hugh with his cut lip spoke remembering his brother in law it made my eyes water...
