Recent Silver Shadow Stakes winners

2022: Zougotcha capitalises on In Secret’s bad luck
Zougotcha, trained by Chris Waller, emerged victorious in the initial race of the highly anticipated Princess Series at Royal Randwick. However, the Godolphin stable is anxiously awaiting a rematch as their filly, In Secret, endured an unfortunate second-place finish. During a crucial moment in the straight, In Secret encountered traffic that hindered her progress, while Zougotcha skilfully manoeuvred through the inside, ultimately claiming the victory. Zougotcha, guided by jockey William Pike, fended off In Secret, the $3 favorite, to secure a triumph with a margin of 1.75 lengths. The closely contested race also saw North Star Lass finish a respectable third, with odds of $31. Zougotcha’s triumph in the Silver Shadow Stakes event marked the first time in her short but promising career that she achieved a stakes win. Chris Waller praised the horse as a “decent horse” following the performance.
2021: Swift Witness claims dramatic Silver Shadow
Having avoided the carnage back in the field where Xtremetime and Brenton Avdulla fell, Swift Witness managed to skip clear to claim the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes. Winning hoop Tim Clark was wide and on speed early stages before allowing Swift Witness to ease slightly and settle around fourth in the run as her conqueror in the Reisling Stakes, Glistening, led the field around. Clark was forced to be patient towards the inside of the field, but once she found clear air, Swift Witness bounded clear and held off the fast finishing Latino Blend.
2020: Dame Giselle leads throughout
Having jumped cleanly from the barriers, Tommy Berry was quick to take Dame Giselle to the front of the field and from there, she was never headed in the Silver Shadow Stakes. Having won the Group 2 Reisling Stakes in the autumn, it was the I Am Invincible filly’s second victory at Group 2 level. Having fending off September Run’s challenge with 150m to go, she needed to fend off Thermosphere and did so with determination. The margin was a head on the winning post with Dame Giselle getting the job done as favourite with pre-race favourite See You Soon scratched at the barriers.
2019: Libertini justifies short quote
Sent out as a $1.50 favourite upon resumption, the Anthony Cummings-trained Libertini was an impressive winner of the Silver Shadow Stakes. The filly managed to clock a class record of 1:07.93 over the famous Randwick 1200m, with jockey Tommy Berry declaring the winner the best filly he had ridden since Overreach. Ridden confidently by Berry, she strode up to level with the leaders at the top of the straight then found another gear and careered away for a dominant win.
