The Golden Slipper is a 1200m Group 1 for two-year-olds run at Rosehill Gardens in the Sydney autumn, and the richest race in the world for its age group.
About the Golden Slipper
The Slipper is the ultimate test for the year's best juveniles — precocious, fast two-year-olds who can begin quickly and sustain their speed over 1200m. It is a launching pad for stallion careers, so the stakes for connections stretch well beyond the prizemoney.
History & significance
First run in 1957, the Golden Slipper is the centrepiece of the Sydney autumn carnival and has been won by many horses who went on to become champion sprinters and influential sires.
