Great news from the Winx owners, who announced on Wednesday their superstar had produced her third foal on Tuesday night, a filly by Darley’s champion sire Too Darn Hot (GB)

The prized filly is the third living foal for Winx, who was retired to stud in 2019.

Her first foal was Pierro filly Quinceanera, who famously made $10million at Inglis Easter and was retired unraced with plans to go stud this year.

Her second is an unnamed 2YO Snitzel colt that is obviously being given time as he holds no entry for the Golden Slipper.

No decision has been announced as to whether Winx will be covered again this spring.
