Winx may be the punters favourite but it’s not the case with bookmakers, with TAB having paid out more than $8.2 million during her 12-race winning streak.

Punters are once again expected to clean up during tomorrow’s Cox Plate where the defending champion is the $1.80 favourite.

It looms to be the worse Winx result yet, with a payout above the $1,466,491 paid during her 2015 Epsom win expected to be eclipsed.   

“Winx opened $2.80 when nominations were received and her price has never been higher than that throughout betting where she is now odds-on at $1.80,” TAB”s Nick Quinn said.

“As a result of this relentless support for Winx, her biggest rival Hartnell has eased from $3 to $3.50 and could even touch $4 by race time.”

In all 12 of Winx’s races during her winning streak, 49.3% of the market has been on her with 83.9% in her last start in the Caulfield Stakes the highest and 17.7% in the Theo Marks Stakes on September 9 2015 the lowest.
