Modern narratives on Autumn Glow inevitably link back to Winx somehow.

This piece follows suit.

Chris Waller’s most recent beaten mare could emulate the great Winx exclusively by reaching 10 successive wins in the 2026 Doncaster Mile at Randwick.

Tuesday’s weights for the $4 million Group 1 assigned The Autumn Sun’s daughter 56.5kg.

Higher marks went only to Ceolwulf (59kg), Gringotts (58.5kg), Sir Delius (58kg), Antino (57.5kg), Buckaroo (57kg) and Pericles (57kg) ahead of the 1600m handicap on April 4.

Thirty-one of 139 Doncaster hopefuls scored the 49kg minimum, including Group 1 champions Apocalyptic, Ole Dancer, Vinrock and Nepotism, alongside standout Victorian filly Sheza Alibi and key Australian Guineas prospect Sixties.

Such weight mirrors Winx’s from a decade ago when she won, the enduring high for four-year-old mares.

Merely four mares won Doncasters carrying more – Cuddle’s 59kg equivalent in 1936 stands out – yet every one was five-plus years old.

Sunline joined that list with a 58kg success in 2002, though beaten at four carrying 57.5kg in 2000, outpaced late by Over, a three-year-old on 51.5kg.

Just three four-year-old mares have entered a Doncaster since 2000 with 56.5kg minimum, all outside top 10 placings.

More Joyous managed 11th in 2011 under 57kg, Typhoon Tracy 14th and Alizee 17th both at 56.5kg.

Autumn Glow’s 2kg increase from last year’s Epsom Handicap win sets her up potentially as the 10th horse to snag both races same season.

The lone mare before? You guessed it, Winx.
