Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have a stranglehold on Golden Slipper betting with a massive team, but plenty of challengers bring quality with them.
Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott’s Tulloch Lodge will look for the crowning moment of a marvellous two-year-old season when the best Golden Slipper in history is run on Saturday.
“It just shows the depth of this year that the horse which won the Breeders’ Plate isn’t in the field, even though he ran second in the Silver Slipper,” Bott said. Storm Boy, whose unblemished record in four starts included an arrogant Magic Millions victory, is the $2.30 favourite, but there is depth to the Golden Slipper field which hasn’t been seen in many years.It is certainly not restricted to Tulloch Lodge, which might have a golden generation of juveniles but will not have things all its own way.
The leading chances from Melbourne will arrive during the week with the underestimated Blue Diamond winner Hayasugi looking for some more history. The last colt to complete the Blue Diamond treble was Sepoy, who came to Sydney and lifted the Golden Slipper in 2011.
