Tara Talks Racing - Who Can Win the Slipper?

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday Mar 17

We've been following all the trials and tribulations leading up to this year's Golden Slipper and after this morning's barrier draw the picture has become somewhat more clear - will it be a Slipper for the stallion syndicates or can a star filly rise to conquer or can the lone gelding spring a surprise?

Clocker and I go through the field and offer our top three, are we on the same wave length and are you on our wave length? We also look back to see how past Slipper winners that started from out wide got the job done, so if you are a Paradoxium or Warwoven fan maybe all is not lost.

The Chris Waller trained colts Hidrix, Fireball and Campione D'Italia all drew in close, but is that enough to put them in the frame on Saturday?
