Started in 1957, the Golden Slipper Stakes is a thoroughbred horse race. This competition attracts fans from all over the world, as well as racers from all corners of the globe.
It is now the world’s richest of horse races; this means, the prize money is outrageous! The first amount used in the 1957 race was 20,000 pounds (the former currency of Australia), and the prize money is now at a record high of $3,500,000 (Australian dollars).
An interesting fact about the race is that only 2-year old thoroughbred horses are permitted for entry. Also, the horse that wins the race is placed in the coveted Hall of Fame, generating life-long popularity!
