“It has been relief from the time she hit the front on Saturday,” Waller said. “You didn't want to let anyone down.
"Even I don’t realise what pressure there was with her.
“We have really been able to enjoy the past couple of days with her,and the photo is good way to keep this memory."
A decision on which stallion Winx will see is likely to will be made in the next month. She will enjoy a couple of months in a familiar paddock before that.
Waller said that Winx's stall would have ongoing significance after being vacated.
“It will always be where we would put a special horse now,” Waller said."It will be the best way to honour her."
