“This mare captured the hearts of our nation.”
Winx 4, Louis Laumen, 2021
“The MVRC, in partnership with the Victorian State Government & Racing Victoria, has today unveiled a magnificent bronze statue of the greatest of our Cox Plate legends – Winx – titled WINX 4. Acclaimed Melbourne artist Louis Laumen was commissioned to capture the iconic image of Winx & Hugh as they crossed the finishing line in their fourth Cox Plate victory in 2018.
The 1:25 life size statue, weighing 1.5 tonne, took over 20 months to complete and has been set on a bluestone pedestal in the newly created Tote Park, which will be the centrepiece of the Moonee Valley Park development in years to come. WINX 4 will take pride of place at the entrance of The Valley, welcoming all visitors for generations to come.”
