2009 Golden Slipper
Billed as the world's richest race for two-year-old thoroughbreds, the AAMI
Golden Slipper is held at Sydney, Australia’s Rosehill Gardens Racecourse
in the autumn of each year.
Entrants will race for $3.5 million in prize money in 2007. The Group

Todmam claimed the top prize when the race was first run in 1957.
Miss Finland captured the 50th running of the race last April. Four other
