Not A Single Doubt son reigns supreme under Hugh Bowman as Gai Waterhouse grabs seventh Slipper
The Mick Price-trained colts Extreme Choice and Flying Artie have drawn ideally in barriers 7 and 5 respectively, further tightening their stranglehold on the market
Shrewd money during the week saw the Nutfield Stud-bred Chestnuts N Pearls shorten on the betting boards from 25-1 to 7-1 and the confidence was to prove spot on as she reversed the Allan Robertson Championship form with Princess Royal
Cape trainer Glen Kotzen has returned to the well with a Gr1 winning family and looks to repeat his 2011 success in Saturday’s R600 000 Gr1 Golden Slipper
The least fancied runner in the field of fourteen was still some way back at the 300m marker and looked to have no chance of getting to the leaders. But in an emotional race for the Marwing brothers, Weichong started asking Bilateral for an effort and she responded like a missile, taking off down the inside rail to catch the favourite Alboran Sea in the final strides
It’s a draw between favourites winning and long priced fillies coming home in the last ten years of Golden Slippers
