Chief Stipe Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 It’s a yes to the Golden Slipper for trainer Chris Waller, who has his best chance yet after the Todman Stakes at Randwick. Yes Yes Yes, having his first start for Sydney’s leading trainer after coming to the stable when the disqualified Darren Weir’s horses were dispersed, is now $6 equal favourite with Reisling Stakes winner Tenley. Ridden by Blake Shinn, Yes Yes Yes sat back before gathering his rivals in to beat the leader Bellevue Hill by half a length with Dubious another three-quarters of a length third. The favourite Time To Reign crossed the line sixth after never looking likely. Waller has had few Golden Slipper runners in the past but now has a genuine contender in Yes Yes Yes. “It’s good to be able to take over a horse like this with prize-money in the bank for the Slipper,” Waller said. “We’ve had him for a number of weeks now. We picked out this race and full credit to the team where he has come from, they’d done a good job educating him well.” Waller said he would not have to do too much with Yes Yes Yesleading into the Slipper. “I don’t have to make him run faster,” he said. “I think he’ll come through the race pretty well the way the race was run.” Time To Reign was briefly favourite for the Slipper after Godolphin colt Tassort was officially withdrawn this morning with a foot problem. Trainer Gary Portelli could not hide his disappointment. “I’m as stunned as anyone,” he said, Time To Reign’s jockey Jason Collett said the colt did not pick up as he expected. “He just didn’t have the turn of foot when they sprinted,” Collett said.
