2011 Silver Slipper Day at Rosehill Gardens Racecourse is jam packed with quality events from Race 1 right through to Race 8 on the program.
Unbeaten filly Satin Shoes will headline the 2011 Silver Slipper Stakes field
Of course the feature event of the day is the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes with Satin Shoes and Elite Falls set to clash in a re-match after their last start quinella. There are plenty of other horses capable of upstaging them including Bossdon City and Diamond To Pegasus.
Not to be out done, the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes lines up as another feature event with $200,000 up for grabs. It could be a battle of the trainers with three trainers each giving themselves two chances at the title.
Pressday and American crew represent Chris Waller up against Peter Snowden’s Skilled and Retrieve as well as David Payne’s Masquerader and Praecido.
Also on the cards is another Group rated event, the Group 3 Millie Fox Stakes. Sacred Choice will need a monstrous effort to win from her wide gate with more than 60kgs on her back. The task made especially more difficult with horses like Graceful Anna, Strawberry Field and Montana Flyer all carrying light weights from inside barriers.
If that wasn’t enough there’s also another listed event on the program, the Fireball Quality Handicap. Decision Time stands head and shoulders above the field but will have 7.5kgs of weight more than all the other runners. This opens the door for horses like Parriwi, Celts and Black Caviars unbeaten brother Moshe.
