During myriad visits to courses to cover all facets of the sport; from mid-week meetings to Melbourne Cups, Cox Plates, Golden Slippers and The Everest, Ray Thomas chanced upon Winx at her first two runs in 2014. As this book of stories about her show, he knew early on he was glimpsing a champion but kept a tight rein on making that prediction.
