Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 18 Journalists Share Posted March 18 Golden Slipper favourite, Wodeton. Photo: Bradley Photos The time-honoured Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) headlines the action at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, with a capacity field of 16 two-year-olds set to battle it out in Australia’s premier juvenile sprint. The $5 million feature consists of 11 boys and five fillies set to line up, including the long-standing favourite with horse racing bookmakers Wodeton who remains at the top of the market at $4.50 after drawing barrier two. James McDonald keeps the ride despite suffering defeat in the Group 2 Todman Stakes (1200m) on March 8, and according to stable representative Charlie Duckworth, McDonald will be instructed to ride the son of Wootton Bassett cold throughout the journey. Godolphin filly Tempted ($5.00) was the big winner post-barrier after securing gate one, with the Group 2 Reisling Stakes (1200m) winner set to gain the economical run throughout under Melbourne-based hoop Blake Shinn. Skyhook is on the one-week backup after claiming the Group 3 Pago Pago (1200m) last Saturday and continues to firm as an $8 chance with Neds after drawing barrier eight. Rivellino ($9.00) is the only other runner holding single figures in the betting, while Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) winner Devil Night is a $11.00 chance with BlondeBet as he attempts to be the first horse to do the two-year-old double since Sepoy in 2011. The chances don’t end there, however, with a stack of hopes at each-way price throughout betting, with the likes of North England, Within The Law and Marhoona all opening at $15.00 apiece with Dabble. The 2025 Golden Slipper is one of five massive Group 1 races set to take place at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, alongside the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes (2000m) and Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m). 2025 Golden Slipper Final Field 1.
