Winx draws outside gate for farewell race

Winx will take on eight rivals in what is expected to be her final racetrack appearance in the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Randwick on Saturday.

Chris Waller's wonder mare, which will chase a 33rd straight win in the $4 million race on the second day of The Championships, drew the outside alley of nine at Tuesday's barrier draw.

The Japanese-trained Kluger, which was a slashing fourth in the Doncaster Mile last week, is an acceptor to join former European He's Eminent in their first clashes against Winx.

Old-stagers Happy Clapper and Hartnell were also entered for the Queen Elizabeth Stakes, which carries a $755,000 purse for running second. Happy Clapper will be taking on Winx for an 11th time.
