Champion racemare Winx has made a winning but drama-filled return to racing.
Chasing her 18th straight win, Winx missed the start four lengths in the Warwick Stakes at Randwick and was last into the straight.
As Foxplay shot through on the inside to take the lead, Winx looked to be in trouble before she rallied late to claim her stablemate.
