They won the race last year with Capitalist. In tomorrow’s big race, Peter and Paul Snowden are chasing back-to-back Golden Slippers with either Pariah or Invader. Smith won the Golden Slipper with Fairy Walk (1971), John’s Hope (1972), Hartshill (1974), Toy Show (1975), Bounding Away (1986) and Star Watch (1988).īart Cummings, Lee Freedman and Clarry Conners all trained four Golden Slipper winners. She has also won the race with Ha Ha (2001), Dance Hero (2004), Sebring (2009), Pierro (2012) and Overreach (2013). Gai Waterhouse equalled her late father Tommy Smith’s training record when she won her sixth Golden Slipper with Vancouver (2015). Both fillies gapped their rivals and at least proved they can handle heavy tracks She Will Reign was trying to work her way across to the outside fence from the top of the straight so her effort to run second was still very good. Tommy Berry gambled by taking Frolic to the extreme outside rail coming around the home turn and it provide a winning move as the filly found slightly superior ground and finished brilliantly to win impressively.
Formality had her chance but still ran gamely while Tulip was running on strongly.įrolic and She Will Reign ran the Reisling quinella on a Randwick track officially rated a heavy 9 but was bottomless. Pariah was three-wide without cover and ran a mighty race to hold off all but Catchy. She hasn’t been tested on a rain-affected surface but is bred to handle wet ground. Catchy maintained her unbeaten record by unleashing a powerful surge to swamp her rivals and score an outstanding win. The first four placegetters in Victoria’s premier juvenile event, Catchy, Pariah, Formality and Tulip, are among the main contenders for the Golden Slipper.
