The three-year-old bitch, who scored an impressive triumph in the prestigious Sylvia Penny Memorial at Horsham on Saturday, has netted $173,785 in prizemoney for her connections.
Trainer Norm McCullagh said a farewell at home track Warrnambool was a possibility. But Greyhound Racing Victoria is unsure if the cup will run as planned in May as it works to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I think the owners are pretty keen to breed with her," McCullagh said.
"It would be good to have another go at the Warrnambool Cup. She ran third last year and was a bit unlucky."
McCullagh's trip to Horsham was made more worthwhile when Crimson Vixen's kennel-mate, Delta Rhode, also notched her 10th win.
"It was a pretty good night for me which made getting home at 1.30am in the morning OK," Norm McCullagh said.

"I thought the field Crimson Vixen was in was a pretty good field because there was so much early speed but she went well and I am happy with her time too."
"All of her owners were scattered around Timboon and Warrnambool and I think I heard them cheering from Horsham when she won." Warrnambool's next meeting - although banned to public due to COVID-19 - is free to watch on the Watchdog form guide app.
