Golden Slipper Stakes News
The Golden Slipper Stakes is one of the premier races of the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and is also the richest two year old race in the world. Held in late March at Rosehill Gardens, the 1200m sprint event is worth a lucrative $5 million in prize money as of 2022 and is the feature event on Golden Slipper Day.
A total of five elite level autumn races take place at the meeting with the Golden Slipper joined by the: Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m), Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m), the Group 1 The Galaxy (1100m) and the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) for three-year-olds.
A number of traditional lead-ups to the Golden Slipper field offer a ballot exemption to the winning two-year-olds including the: Group 2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) and Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes (1200m) held in late February; the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) and Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) run at Randwick on Guineas Day; and the Group 3 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) and Group 3 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) run the week before.
Their positioning two weeks before the Golden Slipper Stakes makes the Todman Stakes and Reisling Stakes the best guides to the Group 1 in recent years.
Following the Golden Slipper betting the best two-year-olds may back-up at Royal Randwick during ‘The Championships’ in April and contest the Group 1 ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m). In 2016 Yankee Rose ran second in the Golden Slipper before winning the ATC Sires’ Produce Stakes. Three years later, Microphone also improved on a Golden Slipper second ahead of his Sires’ Produce victory in 2019.
The Golden Slipper is also part of the “Golden Slam” for horses that continues with the Golden Rose for three-year-olds and The Golden Eagle for four-year-olds.
Note: The 2021 Golden Slipper Stakes was postponed until Saturday March 27th, 2021 due to heavy rainfall and unsafe track conditions at Rosehill Gardens.
The 2022 Golden Slipper ran on Saturday March 19, 2022 and was won in a fantastic effort by Sweet Embrace Stakes winning filly Fireburn ($12).

2022 Golden Slipper Tips
Stay tuned for our insider Golden Slipper Stakes betting tips and best bets this autumn!
Favourite: #8 Coolangatta ($4.50 at time of publish)
A filly doesn’t win her opening three starts and take out the $2 million Magic Millions Classic without class. Whether she can win the Slipper fresh though is the question. She was good with her gutsy, narrow victory back in mid-January’s feature but could be vulnerable first-up facing a number of fitter two-year-olds. She’s got a wide draw too that makes things a bit sticky for James McDonald. She hasn’t done anything wrong to date though and Maher/Eustace are master trainers of this age group. No Magic Millions winner has come back and won the Slipper without a run in between, can she be the first? Saluted as first-up favourite on debut and also has the Group 3 BJ McLachlan Stakes win in Brisbane on her record. She fires fresh, but she faces plenty of improvers. EACH WAY.
Best Bet: #16 She’s Extreme ($8.50 at time of publish)
Think the fillies will have the measure of the colts and geldings this Slipper as they have plenty of times in recent years. Best bet? She’s Extreme was eye-catching third-up at this track / distance last Saturday posting a 1.44 length win in the Magic Night Stakes. She ran good time considering the Heavy (9) track and franked the Fireburn form after running second the start prior in the mud at Randwick in the Group 2 Sweet Embrace Stakes also over the six furlongs. Rock-hard fit, this daughter of Extreme Choice is out to become just the second filly since Bint Marscay (1993) to do the Magic Night – Slipper double, but she’s drawn a treat in gate six and Brett Prebble is booked for the ride. BEST BET.
Best Roughie: #9 Revolutionary Miss ($15 at time of publish)
There are so many at double-figures that have genuine claims at the title, including both Russian Revolution fillies for Team Snowden. Of the two, the odds are attractive on the widely-drawn Revolutionary Miss who will need luck from the gate but has been oh-so-consistent. She’s had four starts for a Group 2 win and three seconds. Her victory was in the Blue Diamond Prelude at Caulfield on the back of a Widden Stakes second at Rosehill. The Widden form was franked last weekend’ with the winner Queen Of The Ball taking out the Black Opal in Canberra to earn her Slipper spot. Revolutionary Miss meanwhile went on to go down the barest of margins to Daumier in the Group 1 Blue Diamond over the six furlongs. Whether the form out of Melbourne is the one to follow north is the only question, but happy to go with a proven Group 1 performer who is also proven the Sydney way. DANGER.

Golden Slipper History
Originally worth 20,000 pounds in prize money, the Golden Slipper Stakes was first run in 1957 and was won by Todman. Jockey Shane Dye and Ron Quinton have been the most successful jockeys in Golden Slipper history. Quinton won the race with Marscay (1982), Sir Dapper (1983), Rory’s Jester (1985) and Marauding (1987), while Dye won the race on four consecutive occasions; piloting Courtza (1989), Canny Lad (1990), Tierce (1991) and Burst (1992) to victory.
Renowned trainer Tommy J. Smith won the race with six horses; taking out the Group 1 event with Fairy Walk (1971), John’s Hope (1972), Hartshill (1974), Toy Show (1975), Bounding Away (1986) and Star Watch (1988). The fastest winning time was recorded in 2004 when Dance Hero won in 1 minute and 8.6 seconds, while Canny Lad recorded the slowest winning race time in 1990 with a time 1 minute and 15.41 seconds.
The Golden Slipper began as a Principle race from 1957 – 1978 before gaining its current Group 1 status in 1979. It was held over six furlongs until 1972 and then officially 1200m with the metric conversion coming in from 1973 onwards.
From 2009 – 2014 the Golden Slipper Stakes ran on the first Saturday of April. Prior to 2008 it ran on the Saturday before Good Friday. It now runs in March leading up to the two-day ‘The Championships’ on the first two Saturdays of April.
Notable recent Golden Slipper winners include Dance Hero (2004), Stratum (2005), Miss Finland (2006) Sebring (2008) Sepoy (2011), Pierro (2012) and Capitalist (2016).
In both 2017 and 2018 the Golden Slipper trifecta was an all-filly affair.
In 2020 co-trainer Gai Waterhouse celebrated her record seventh success and first in partnership with Adrian Bott when the favourite Farnan saluted in front of a spectator free grandstand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021 the original Golden Slipper Stakes race day was abandoned due to heavy rainfall and unsafe track conditions and postponed to the following Saturday.
