"Another jockey may have thought that, but I knew when I balanced up she was going to rally".
Winx was priced at just $1.08, but that didn't deter punters with one courageous person placing a record bet of $280,000 on the champion horse minutes before the race.
Champion mare Winx has etched her name into the record books in stunning fashion as she claimed a historic victory at Randwick.
The victory was Winx's fourth in a row in the Chipping Norton and her 23rd Group One triumph, one more than retired northern hemisphere jumper Hurricane Fly and a world record.
"My only worry is what effect this run will have on him", Webster said.
Hugh Bowman and Winx win Chipping Norton Stakes at Randwick.
"I said to him, "Can you at least wait until the 700m"?"
Blake Shinn on Happy Clapper ($9.50) put plenty of excitement into the race when he let the Pat Webster trained eight year old skip to a four lengths lead at the 800m and held a handy break on the home turn.
Another race that Winx would dominate, adding to her seemingly endless tally of wins.

"It was a good test for her and will bring her on nicely for the next couple of runs because they need stimulating".
"It did her good to stand there afterwards".
Happy Clapper was forced to the front and with 1000m to go had opened up a wide margin and forced Bowman to wake Winx up earlier than previous races.
"That was a hard run today so he'll be fit".
TAB.com.au trimmed Happy Clapper's All-Star Mile quote in from $6 to $5 while they also reported they wrote their biggest ever bet when one punter wagered $280,000 at $1.08 on Winx.
In August, she beat Black Caviar's Australian win record with her 26th consecutive win and she last lost a race in April 2015.
Champion mare Winx has etched her name into the horse racing record books after once again crossing the line first. "Hopefully we can get through two more runs".
All hail the Queen.
