    Autumn Glow ($1.70F)<\/strong> delivered a powerhouse return in the 2026 Winx Stakes results <\/strong>at Randwick, the champion mare cruising up behind the speed before putting the race to bed inside the final furlong to defeat Sheza Alibi <\/strong>by 1.39 lengths and secure her fourth Group 1. Freshened after her lone career defeat in the Queen Elizabeth, she was back to her brilliant best at 1400m, extending her record to 12 wins from 13 starts with a performance that reminded punters why she\u2019s considered one of the country\u2019s elite. Chris Waller celebrated his 10th Winx Stakes victory, praising her professionalism, gate speed and ability to lift when it\u2019s \u201cgo time\u201d, noting she was forward enough without being fully wound up. Sheza Alibi lost no admirers with a strong first\u2011up second, but Autumn Glow\u2019s dominant return saw her tighten sharply in The Everest betting futures<\/a><\/strong>, firming from $13 into $6 as she again shapes as one of the headline acts of the Sydney spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2026 Winx Stakes Odds & Finishing Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opening Winx Stakes odds 2026 at Neds typically favour proven weight\u2011for\u2011age stars, elite first\u2011up performers and middle\u2011distance guns returning from strong trials, creating a highly competitive betting landscape. As stables unveil their spring flag\u2011bearers, factors such as race\u2011day tempo, barrier draws, Randwick suitability and stable plans for the spring become crucial for anyone analysing Winx Stakes betting 2026<\/strong>. With sharp market movers and early value often emerging in the lead\u2011up, the Winx Stakes remains one of the most influential early\u2011spring Group 1 betting races<\/strong> on the calendar \u2014 and a key event for punters looking to strike early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Previously a Group 2 race and known as the Warwick Stakes, the Winx Stakes race has upgraded and moved across to Royal Randwick from it’s former home at Warwick Farm. The race track and grade aren’t the only thing that’ve been upgraded, with the purse doubling in size to $500,000. The Winx Stakes prize money was increased again ahead of 2023 and is now worth $1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"2023

    The 2018 edition of the race was renamed as the Winx Stakes in honour of the iconic Winx who won in both 2016 and 2017 before her hat-trick when taking out the event as the namesake in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Winx’s trainer Chris Waller won the race for a sixth time in 2020 with his subsequent Caulfield Cup<\/a> winning mare Verry Elleegant defeating stablemate Star Of The Seas. Verry Elleegant defended her title in 2021, but ran second to Mo’unga, before winning the George Main Stakes (now King Charles III Stakes) next race and the Melbourne Cup<\/a> later that spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The high quality of Winx Stakes winners continued in 2022 with subsequent Cox Plate<\/a> hero Anamoe saluting for the punters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Waller added to his Winx Stakes record with a seventh success in 2023 with Fangirl improving on her second to Anamoe the year before, and then trained the 2024 trifecta for his eighth success with Via Sistina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Winx Stakes now serves as a key lead-up into the new $1 million 7 Stakes<\/a> (1600m) race held the next month at Randwick on The Shorts Day offering the winner an Epsom Handicap ballot exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Via Sistina franked the 2024 Winx Stakes form going on to win a record number of subsequent Group 1 races that season including her historic eight-length victory in the Ladbrokes Cox Plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Waller won the Winx Stakes for a ninth time in 2025 with the defending champion, Via Sistina, resuming to go back-to-back in the event for her 10th career Group 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Via Sistina proved the class of her crop, returning in the spring of 2025 to sweep the Cox Plate\u2013Champions Stakes double<\/strong> before heading into retirement on a high. That Winx Stakes form only strengthened as the season unfolded, with runner\u2011up Aeliana putting together an outstanding campaign of her own \u2014 consistently landing in the placings at the top level and ultimately claiming the Ranvet Stakes\u2013Tancred Stakes double<\/strong> at Rosehill in March 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Waller extended his incredible Winx Stakes training record up to 10 victories <\/strong>with his fourth in as many years with yet another star mare, Autumn Glow, who resumed a first-up Group 1 winner at an odds-on quote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
