Kris Lees aims for Golden Slipper success with Rivellino

Kris Lees aims to enhance his family's legacy in the Golden Slipper with his horse Rivellino, who is unbeaten in three races. Jockey Hugh Bowman, who previously celebrated a Slipper win in 2020, will ride Rivellino in the $5 million race. Rivellino has shown strong performances, winning the Inglis Millennium and Skyline Stakes. Despite being on the fifth line of betting at $11, Lees believes Rivellino has a good chance, especially with his consistent form and positive attributes. This year marks Lees' second entry in the Slipper, following a previous runner that finished last in 2010. He hopes for a favorable barrier draw to improve Rivellino's chances in the competitive field.
