Winx's win in the A$4 million ($3.11 million) event of the Sydney autumn carnival put her level with Black Caviar in the Australian record books.

Ridden by jockey Hugh Bowman, the six-year-old galloped to her 18th Group One triumph as she beat Gailo Chop by three and three-quarters lengths. Happy Clapper was third.

Black Caviar's run included 15 Group One wins from 2008 until her retirement in 2013.
