Golden Slipper

        Golden Slipper  

The Golden Slipper carries a purse of $3.5m (2017) making it the richest two year old race in the world.
The inaugural running of the Golden Slipper took place on April 6 1957 and was won by the mighty colt, Todman, who would go on to establish himself as one of the greatest gallopers to ever race in Australia. The purse for the race that year was £10,000.

Since that very first running of the Golden Slipper, we have seen the race won by many great two year olds, some have gone on to establish themselves as champion sprinters beyond their two year old season.
Horses like Vain, Baguette, Tontonan, Toy Show, Luskin Star, Manikato and Sir Dapper all carried their colours to victory in many Group 1 races as older horses.


Training honours for the Golden Slipper rest with Gai Waterhouse who has trained the winner on eight occasions.
