Silver Slipper Stakes (GR2)
2025 total prize money: $300,000
1st $170,000, 2nd $56,000, 3rd $27,250
The inaugural running of the Silver Slipper Stakes for two-year-olds took place at Rosehill racecourse on October 26, 1963 over a distance of 4 ½ furlongs + 29 yards. It was won by Mr Percy Galea’s black colt, Eskimo Prince.
Originally run in the spring, the Silver Slipper became an important addition to the Sydney Turf Club’s two-year-old programming, which culminates with The Golden Slipper Stakes, the following autumn.
The introduction of the metric measurements system to Australian racing in 1972 saw the distance altered to 900m where it remained until 1984 when it was increased to 1100m, bringing it closer in range to the 1200m of the Golden Slipper.
In 1998 the Silver Slipper was rescheduled from the spring to the autumn, giving it a closer and more timely lead-up to the Golden Slipper.
There was controversy in the days following the 1983 Silver Slipper Stakes when it was discovered that the winner’s name, Merkin, was a term used for a ‘pubic wig’. Needless to say, Merkin had a name change and he returned to racing the following autumn as Giostra, which is Italian for Carousel or Merry-Go-Round.
Seven Silver Slipper winners have gone on to also win the Golden Slipper:
1964 Eskimo Prince
1970 Baguette
1977 Luskin Star
2012 Pierro
2014 Mossfun
2017 She Will Reign
2020 Farnan
The most successful trainer of winners of the Silver Slipper is Jack Denham who saddled-up the winner on six occasions:
1972 Jewel Thief – 1981 Vaindarra – 1986 Maizcay – 1989 Triscay
1998 Iglesia – 1999 Passmore
Riding honours rest with Darren Beadman who has five Silver Slipper winners to his credit:
