Danehill (USA)
|
Ha Ha proved to have the
right qualities trainer Gai Waterhouse needed to finally win her elusive first Golden
Slipper Stakes. Owned by John "Singo" Singleton, the filly's win
created scenes I've not seen before! I'm yet to scan and post all the
photographs, so the selection below won't give any indication, apart from
demonstrating what a strong win it was from this talented filly. She gave
super-sire Danehill his fifth win in the Golden Slipper Stakes, and is from a
three quarter sister to another Slipper winner, Rory's Jester, also a very
successful sire, so her pedigree was indeed full of Slipper history. It
was lovely to see Gai win the race that her famous father TJ Smith had
won 6 times, and she was full of emotion after the win. I thought it was
definitely one for the girls! |
