Golden Slipper Order of Entry

Media Release - Wednesday February 1

The Australian Turf Club today released the opening prize money order of this year's first acceptors for the $3,5m AAMI Golden Slipper at Rosehill Gardens on 7 April.

In the opening order of entry, 25 quality two-year-olds have earned more than $42,000 in prizemoney from a limited number of starts.

Leading the list is Driefontein ($138,000), (pictured www.stevehart.com.au) who remains unbeaten with a victory on protest over stablemate No Looking Back in the BMW Magic Millions 2YO Classic last month. She will be aiming to give Gai Waterhouse her second Magic Millions – Golden Slipper double after doing so with Dance Hero in 2004.

Gai Waterhouse, who has won the Slipper three times (Ha Ha, 2001; Dance Hero, 2004 and Sebring, 2008) has six horses currently among the top 25.

AAMI Golden Slipper second acceptances close next Tuesday, 7 February, with the betting market to follow.
