Position In Running<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There is an incredible piece of insight gleaned when you watch the replays of the past 20 Golden Slippers (wet tracks in red):
\n\u2022 2004: Dance Hero from gate two led all the way on the rail
\n\u2022 2005: Stratum from gate six led all the way on the rail
\n\u2022 2006: Miss Finland from gate seven was at the back: well back and hugged the rail
\n\u2022 2007: Forensics went from gate one: stayed on the rail
\n\u2022 2008: Sebring from gate five settled well back and hugged the rail
\n\u2022 2009: Phelan Ready from gate fifteen: dropped right back to last but hugged the rail
\n\u2022 2010: Crystal Lily from gate one was on the rail
\n\u2022 2011: Sepoy from gate eight was 3rd on the rail
\n\u2022 2012: Pierro from gate one hugged the rail
\n\u2022 2013: Overreach from gate one was third on the rail
\n\u2022 2014: Mossfun missed the start from gate 11 and hugged the rail the whole way to win
\n\u2022 2015: Vancouver sat 3 wide with cover and won
\n\u2022 2016: Capitalist sat 3 back on the rails and came out in the straight to win
\n\u2022 2017: She Will Reign made a beeline for the rails after a slow getaway and wins
\n\u2022 2018: Estijaab led all the way on the rails
\n\u2022 2019: Kiamichi led all the way on the rails, coming out in the straight
\n\u2022 2020: Farnan led on the rails, coming out in the straight, placegetters both on the rails
\n\u2022 2021: Stay inside sat in the 1×1 and won comfortably. Anamoe was last on the fence and ran 2nd
\n\u2022 2022: Fireburn settled back from gate 1 and hugged the rails to the turn to win
\n\u2022 2023: Shinzo settled midfield on the fence and hugged the rails to win<\/p>\n

18 of the past 20 Golden Slipper winners were on the rails before the turn.<\/p>\n

All 9 wet track Slippers were won by horses who stayed on the fence.<\/p>\n

This is a remarkable insight for jockeys, jockey managers, trainers & owners to be aware of when forming their race day plans. For punters the challenge is finding those horses, given a lot comes down to luck in running and the intent, intelligence and\/or instructions of the jockeys on board.<\/p>\n

You can see a remarkably clear pattern there of recent Slipper winners over the last 20 years. You want to be on the fence. I have made this point for many years, and yet Fireburn got out to 300\/1 in running in 2022 on Betfair despite being one of only 5 horses on the fence in the race and a $12 chance<\/p>\n
