The Golden Slipper, an important race for two-year-olds, is set to take place at Rosehill. This race has a $5 million prize and can greatly increase a horse’s value for breeding. Winning or placing well in the Slipper can make a significant financial difference. Trainer Chris Waller calls the Golden Slipper the "grand final" of two-year-old racing. He emphasizes how winning this race can boost a horse's worth in the breeding market. The field features several contenders with different odds and backgrounds. Rivellino is one of the favorites, having won all three of his races. Devil Night, who recently won the Blue Diamond, comes with strong credentials, while North England aims to improve after missing a key lead-up race. Other notable horses include Tycoon Star, who has experience but needs better form, and Beiwacht, previously a strong contender who hasn’t performed well recently. Another contender, Skyhook, comes off an impressive performance in the Pago Pago. Wodeton has significant backing after easy victories, and Tempted is among the favorites following strong performances this season. Bellazaine and Military Tycoon have shown potential, while several others round out the field with varying chances of success.
