«Breaking News» Champion thoroughbred Winx takes home 27th consecutive win at Royal Randwick Racecourse

Australia's mightiest mare has done it again!

Winx remains the world's top-rated racehorse after she extended her historic unbeaten streak after jockey Hugh Bowman rode to her to victory for 27 consecutive wins at Royal Randwick on Saturday afternoon.

The legendary mare was chasing a record third consecutive George Main Stakes win, which was far from easy.

Seven lengths behind the leader with 800m to go, Winx had her work cut out for her during the race before charging home in a late surge to win by five lengths.

'She's just colossal,' Seven's racing commentator Bruce McAvaney said.

She becomes the first Australian horse to record 20 group one wins, which puts just two wins short of the record of Irish hurdler Hurricane Fly. 

'She's just a star,' trainer Chris Waller told reporters.

'In that last 200 metres, that last 10 percent that you call on, is always there. I don't mean to sound cocky, but she's just an amazing animal.' 

Jockey Hugh Bowman celebrated with his wife and daughter after the race

Winx broke the Australian record in her last race last month when she surpassed Black Caviar's 25 wins.

She took some time away from the track on Friday to celebrate her seventh birthday with a carrot and apple cake.

A happy snap shared on Winx's social media accounts captured the adorable moment the legendary mare received her birthday treat.

In the photo, Winx can be seen nibbling on the cake as she pokes her head over one of her human's shoulders, who is wearing a birthday cap.

The clever cake appeared to be made out of sliced carrots with a layer of thinly-sliced apples, completed with a golden Happy Birthday topper. 

Delighted fans of the birthday girl took to social media to share their warm wishes.

'Happy Birthday, sweet girl! We love you!' one person wrote on Twitter.

'If only we all could age so well! Happy B Day!' another person said.

A third person added: 'Happy happy Bday beautiful lady. I will be cheering you on tomorrow.'   

Winx, who was previously known as the Warwick Stakes, was the third horse to ever be inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2017.

The Longines top-ranked horse was given the stamp of approval when a stamp collection was released to celebrate her 26th consecutive win last month.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
