Golden Slipper Win for Lady Of Camelot and Gai Waterhouse

In a thrilling race day at Rosehill Gardens, Lady Of Camelot, trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, emerged victorious in the prestigious Golden Slipper, marking an eighth win for Gai Waterhouse. With jockey Blake Shinn in the saddle, Lady Of Camelot defied the odds to claim the title.

Lady Of Camelot’s victory came as a surprise to many, given the strong colt contenders in the field. The filly’s journey to the Golden Slipper included a brave performance in the Blue Diamond, setting the stage for her triumphant win at Rosehill.

Among the colts, Storm Boy, the favorite in the race, faced a challenging run, with jockey Ryan Moore having to navigate through a crowded field. Ultimately, Storm Boy finished third, behind the impressive Coleman trained by Matt Laurie.

Despite Storm Boy’s setback, trainer Adrian Bott remains optimistic about the colt’s future in upcoming races like the Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Champagne Stakes. Meanwhile, Coleman’s courageous effort in the Golden Slipper, overcoming foot soreness, was a testament to the horse’s resilience and talent.

Coolmore, the stable behind Storm Boy and Switzerland, experienced a mixed day at Rosehill, with Tom Magnier acknowledging the unpredictable nature of horse racing. The stakes were high, and the competition fierce as Lady Of Camelot stole the show with her remarkable victory.
