As a racing historian, I knew about Winx’s story long before I stepped into a preview screening of A Horse Named Winx, a new documentary tracing the mare’s great career. But I suspected many people outside the cinema did not know it, which I think is a shame given the magnitude of Winx’s achievements.
Will this new production see Winx make ground on legendary racehorses such as Gunsynd and Phar Lap in the public’s esteem? I hope so. I found it to be an engaging documentary that aptly pays homage to the mare’s illustrious career.
