NEW YORK — Trainer Jonathan Thomas had several thoughts swirling around his mind as he watched Catholic Boy gallop out powerfully after a fourth-place finish in the one-mile Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Nov. 3 at Del Mar.

One: The colt would welcome more ground.

Nobody expected it to be this close, but Winx has completed her Ladbrokes Cox Plate three-peat on Oct. 28.

Starting a prohibitive 0.18-1 favorite, Winx settled midfield in the 2,040-meter (about 1 1/4-mile) championship at Moonee Valley in Melbourne, and got to the front easily enough with about a quarter-mile to run.

But she then had an unexpected challenge from Group 1 winner Humidor, who had been more than seven lengths behind her in the Group 1 Seppelt Turnbull Stakes three weeks ago.
