LIES, LIES and DAMN STATISTICS !
You’ve heard it all before but the fact remains there is some very interesting historical data available when you start drilling down looking for information about most subjects.
This rings true again when we look into the facts and figures of the previous
59 running’s of the World’s Greatest 2yo race – The GOLDEN SLIPPER
Specifically were looking for data about Sires and Genetics and other interesting revelations.
For example – Do you know the answers to these questions?
Do you know which sire has produced the most Slipper Winners?
How many previous Slipper Winners have progeny in this year’s event?
How many Sires have produced more than 2 winners of the Slipper?
How many Slipper Winners have been bred in New Zealand?
Who is the Most Expensive COLT in this year’s Golden Slipper Field?
Who is the Least Expensive COLT in this year’s Golden Slipper Filed?
How many of the field of 16 went through Public Auction?
How many yearlings at Auction SOLD for $150,000 and above?
If you knew the answers to these questions – Congratulations you’re a Golden Slipper aficionado !
If not the answers you will find set out below !
At Dynamic Syndications we love this time of year – The 2yo’s Grand Final !
Dynamic Syndications boss Dean Watt syndicated the 2003 Winner POLAR SUCCESS. That was the FIRST TIME a Slipper winner had been syndicated to the public. Since then he’s added the Magic Millions (05) and the Blue Diamond (09) to our display cabinet.
The feat of winning the Golden Slipper with a Publicly Syndicated horse has only been achieved once since - when
Gai Waterhouse’s purchased and trained SEBRING.
Will it be achieved a 3rd time in 2016 with SCARLETT RAIN or YANKEE ROSE? Both line up this year with connections hoping that they can add their names to Slipper History.
Can GAI WATERHOUSE train her 7th SLIPPER WINNER and leap frog her own famous father as the greatest trainer of Slipper Winners?
GAI is extremely confident SINGO will be shouting the bar !
