the golden slipper

[Songofthesword]

who ya got?


I like two fillies... military rose I think will overcome the draw and i like more strawberries to make a run for 2nd. she missed the break compoletely last out and has a valid excuse for not running her race that race and still ran a bang up race.

[Viva Pataca]

Don't have a clue, I suppose the top 3 picks are Chance Bye, Crystal Lily and Military Rose.

It is a big day of racing though, hardly any one is missing.

[Songofthesword]

brightexpectations is one to watch as well.

[Songofthesword]

If Military Rose wins this she will have $3.5m in lifetime earnings ($1.52m + $2m winner's share of Golden Slipper).
That is absolutely insane for a 2yo, and 2yo filly at that.

[Arkle]

I see that "foreign" racing has been ghettoised again.

YAWN.

And a 2yo filly going up to 6f.

Military rose could also possibly go on to the Triple Crown series and take her overall earnings to around $4 million.

Faint Perfume is running in the Vinery Stud Stakes. Is she going to the AJC Derby and then the AJC Oaks after that?

[doriemus]

She will probably go straight into the Oaks, and Bart might keep her ticking over for the QLD Oaks, which is a really good fillies race in June/July.

Very good win from way way back for her.

[doriemus]

An outstanding filly who will probably go straight into the Oaks off that win. Also liked the run of the 2nd horse, Valdemoro. She will be one of the ones to watch in the Oaks as well, and is out of a full sister to VRC Derby winner Elvstroem, and half sister to Haradasun, in Hveger. She herself, Hveger, was a Group 1 placegetter.

I am really hoping that Brightexpectations or Chance Bye win. Brightexpectations' connections will donate some of the prizemoney to Red Kite, which is associated with cancer and helps families get through the disease. Also chance Bye's trainer has survived two battles of cancer.

Bart was very quick and definite in responding to the Derby question. "No, not this one."

[Arkle]

Cyrstal Lilly.
If she'd run in a straight line, she'd have won by a mile.

[Arkle]

Just saw the head-on... she almost ended up in the grandstand!

[Arkle]

That was a long inquiry, but she stayed up.

[doriemus]

Wonderful win, but she will need to learn to race straight in future in Sydney, because she cost Solar Charged a place, and also cost her jockey Brett Prebble a $5,000 fine and a 3 meeting suspension in Hong Kong.

Lovely bred horse, who is from the first crop of former Golden Slipper winner, Stratum, from a renowned female line that includes stakes winners Crystal Finale, Crystal Wit, Carrara, White Nav, Machtig Mihi Panis, Introibo, Ajax, Zoometric, Brannigan, Dracula, The Oscars, Sash, Masked Party, Festal, Kilshery, Lady Pirouette, Snowing, etc.
