The Rosehill track for the 2013 Golden Slipper has been downgraded following more rain in the past 24 hours.

Victorian filly Villa Verde was a close second favourite in the 2013 Golden Slipper (1200m) market before the Moet And Chandon Stakes.

And then Slipper top elect Overreach blew her out of the water, leaving the grey Villa Verde 4 1/2 lengths behind as she passed the winning post.

Now a $13 chance, can the Shaun Dwyer-trained filly improve enough to…

Ruud Awakening trainer Stephen Marsh is hoping the rain will continue into Saturday where his star filly will attempt to become the first New Zealand-trained horse to win the Golden Slipper (1200m).

While the form guide says Ruud Awakening hasn’t won on worse than Dead, there is believed to be a big difference between the track ratings in Australia and…

The drift may have something to do with the rain…

Bjorn Baker’s dream of having a 2013 Golden Slipper runner has come to fruition with colt Windjammer clawing his way into the field for the $3.5 million Group 1 race.

The prospect of a wet 2013 Golden Slipper at Rosehill on Saturday is becoming more likely after heavy rain fell in Sydney on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

The track was rated a Slow 7 this morning and with isolated showers predicted over the next few days, the best case scenario is likely to be a Slow 6 or a…

The money is starting to flow in for the 2013 Golden Slipper (1200m) as the start to Saturday’s $3.5 million Rosehill feature race draws closer.

Overreach remains a steady $2.15 favourite at but finally has some company under double figures.

Darley-owned colt Sidestep has received plenty of support and has shortened from $11 on Wednesday evening to $9.

The Peter…

It’s a case of Overreach against the rest in the 2013 Golden Slipper (1200m) and one of the horses gunning for the favourite is Darley-owned colt Sidestep.

The Exceed And Excel colt is at $11 to take out the prized juvenile race and has shown plenty of ability early in his career.

Sidestep will be backing up just seven days after…

The betting suggests the 2013 Golden Slipper is Overreach’s for the taking but there are 15 other horses in the field including in-form colt Criterion.

The David Payne-trained colt has progressed steadily towards the $3.5 million event and brings with him terrific form.

An $11 chance in the Golden Slipper market, Criterion will chase a third straight win this weekend….
