The Golden Slipper started from the Platinum model Steriline Racing starting gates at Rosehill, but this was not the only race being talked about on the day.

The George Ryder Stakes had Winx jumping from the platinum starting gate for the success of her 17th Group one win.

Winx has broken the world record of straight victories for flat racing, at a staggering 24 races, with majority starting from Steriline Racing starting gates.

After all the excitement that came with the George Ryder Stakes in the early afternoon, the focus could then turn to the major race of the day, with the starting gates to open for the Longines Golden Slipper. The major race of the day, with prize money of A$3.5 million, it was Estijaab who jumped from the gates to take the win.
