Blake Shinn believes Lady Of Camelot can upset the star colts to give him a second Golden Slipper at Rosehill on Saturday.
The glamour of this year’s Golden Slipper centres around unbeaten colts Storm Boy and Switzerland, which suits Melbourne jockey Blake Shinn just fine as he flies in to ride filly Lady Of Camelot at Rosehill tomorrow.
“We wanted Blake to ride her and were very happy to get him,” Glenn’s racing manager, Steve O’Connor, said. “We think he will just suit the filly.” “She was the best run in the Blue Diamond – it was clear to see – and to get the chance to ride her in the Golden Slipper was outstanding,” Shinn said. “I felt before I rode her at Hawkesbury I had a great chance and I came away more confident having been on her. She reminds me so much of English with her speed, and English went so close to winning the Slipper.“What I discovered by riding her is she can be ridden with a sit and doesn’t need to use that natural speed.
“She was part of the first group through the stable and was always a natural, and it is why she was the Gimcrack favourite,” Bott said. “Nothing went right there and she was three wide all the way . We gave her a good break and then saw how good she was in the Widden Stakes win and it encouraged us to go to Melbourne where she was so brave in the Blue Diamond.
