The Chris Waller Stable along with Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club have made it possible for Hugh Bowman to continue his association with superstar mare Winx on Apollo Stakes Day despite suspension.

Racegoers will be treated to Winx’s final rehearsal under Bowman prior to her resumption in the Group I Chipping Norton Stakes at Royal Randwick on Saturday March 3.

Bowman was set to miss a ride aboard the champion mare in the Apollo Stakes after suspensions incurred over the Australia Day long weekend before Chris Waller made changes which will now see Winx return in the Chipping Norton Stakes with Bowman eligible to retain the ride.

The great mare will work over 1200m after race three, together with stablemates Who Shot Thebarman, Libran, Mackintosh and McCreery in a gallop simulating race conditions.

Bowman will be fitted with a microphone and camera to allow the public to receive a unique insight into the discussion between the jockey and trainer Chris Waller in the preparation for her return.

“This is an interesting way to show the general public a behind the scenes aspect of Winx,” Waller told Racing NSW.

“It is obvious that people want to know more about her and it is hard to find new ways to be able to convey to people what she is like without repeating ourselves in the media or at the races, so this will certainly give an insight into what goes towards preparing a horse for a big race.

“As we see in modern day sport, especially on the television whether it be the 20/20 cricket or motor car racing, and as early as this week, the Super Bowl, the general public want new initiatives and new ways to connect with the sports they follow, so I am certainly looking forward to being part of this initiative.”

Races four to nine on the day have been rescheduled one race back with the final race now to be conducted at 6:20pm.
