The Silver Slipper Stakes is a Group 2 race for two-year-olds heading towards the coveted Golden Slipper Stakes at Rosehill Gardens during the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
The Silver Slipper Stakes is a lucrative Group 2 race run in mid-late February during the prestigious Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival. Held at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, the Silver Slipper Stakes is one of three Group races at the meeting along with the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes (1400m) and the Group 2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m).
A 1100m sprint race for two-year-olds at set weights, the Silver Slipper Stakes offers $250,000 in prize money and is the first notable Group status race solely for two-year-olds at the carnival.
Runners from the Silver Slipper Stakes are traditionally eyeing a run in the richest race in the world for their age group – the Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) back at Rosehill in March. She Will Reign (2017) followed by Farnan (2020) are the latest two-year-olds to complete the Silver Slipper – Golden Slipper Stakes double.
Before the Golden Slipper Stakes the horses out of the Silver Slipper Stakes field may run in a lead-up race like Canberra’s Group 3 Black Opal Stakes (1200m), or either the Group 2 Magic Night Stakes (1200m) for fillies or Group 2 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) for colts & geldings the week before.
The Silver Slipper Stakes form in 2021 was franked with the winner Home Affairs going on to win that spring’s Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) in Melbourne.
The 2021 Silver Slipper Stakes winner Home Affairs raced on the same day 12 months later in Melbourne to deny his stablemate Nature Strip victory first-up in Flemington’s Group 1 $1 million Black Caviar Lightning (1000m).
The 2022 Silver Slipper Stakes form was franked with the winner Best Of Bordeaux running a next-up second in the Golden Slipper Stakes results. He also finished third that spring in Melbourne’s Group 1 Manikato Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley.
The Silver Slipper Stakes 2023 ran on Saturday February 18, 2023 and was won by the James Cummings-trained Cylinder ($4.60) first-up for the Godolphin stable.

Stay tuned for our insider Silver Slipper Stakes 2023 Tips on the autumn Group 2 this season.
The favourite could be vulnerable again after his first-up second and so happy to take on King’s Gambit and go a bit of value for the resuming Cylinder from the powerhouse Godolphin stable. The progressive James Cummings-trained Exceed And Excel colt gets the rails run from barrier one first-up chasing his maiden win at his third start. He ran second in both his runs last campaign against some nice types and is out to atone for his second in the Merson Cooper as the beaten odds-on favourite at Caulfield in late November. Runs in Sydney for the first time since his second on debut at Newcastle behind Fire Lane in the Max Lees and has the benefit of a winning Rosehill trial throughout the week.

Eskimo Prince was the inaugural Silver Slipper Stakes winner when the race was first held in 1963. It began as a Principal race run over four furlongs, and was run over five furlongs for one year in 1970. With Australia’s adoption of the metric system in 1973, the race distance was converted to 900m.
In 1979 the Silver Slipper reached its current Group 2 status and then the race distance was increased to 1100m in 1984. Due to an outbreak of the equine influenza in Australia, the race was not held in 1997.
A host of gun two-year-olds have dominated the Silver Slipper Stakes results over the years including recent Golden Slipper champions Pierro (2012), Mossfun (2014) and She Will Reign (2017).
