It has been announced that the film will be released in cinemas across Australia on September 5th. .

This plot turns the horse into a familiar heroine. “From a wayward colt who was difficult to catch, to a plain, long-legged teenager who turned his back on affection to protect himself, Winx became a front-page phenomenon and took trainers by storm in the process.” Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman are on the world stage and in the midst of a ‘horse racing fairy tale’ that will test them to their limits.
“I feel like we’re ready to talk about what we’ve been through,” said trainer Chris Waller, who led Winx’s winning streak. He will appear in the film alongside the horse known as ‘The Queen’, Hugh Bowman and the team that made her a champion.
The Horse Named Winx is funded by Screen Australia in partnership with Screen NSW and Longines.
