Slipper Day Sale Mail - The Sires to Watch

Tara Madgwick - Thursday Mar 19

Rosehill is set to host one of the great days of Australian racing on Saturday with a 10 race card featuring nine stakes races and five of them are G1 races worth a collective $8.75million, so if you have a good horse in work in Sydney, chances are it’s running this Saturday!

Snitzel has plenty of firepower for this Saturday.

Champion sire Snitzel can make his mark with a dozen runners that include Golden Slipper contenders Campione D’Italia and Fireball as well as his Golden Slipper winner from last year in Marhoona, who chases a second G1 win in The Galaxy.

The Autumn Sun - can he get a G1 double?

His Arrowfield barn mate The Autumn Sun only has two runners, but they are both favoured in G1 races with Autumn Glow shooting for 11 wins in a row in the George Ryder Stakes, while Autumn Boy look to emulate the success of his sire in the Rosehill Guineas.

Those two stallions are currently running one and two on the Australian General Sires List and are likely to remain there after Saturday, although I Am Invincible is within striking distance if his glamour filly Chayan can win the Golden Slipper.

I Am Invincible is poised to strike!

He also has Enriched in the $1million The Galaxy and Charm Stone and Airman in the $1million G1 William Reid in Melbourne, so Vinnie could be in a position to lay down a challenge to the top two.
