A sires’ breeding success is the pivotal evaluation for his genotype domination. Come 2026 Golden Slipper the showcase for Australia Group 1 racing for two year old progeny running over 1200 metre turf.

The Golden Slipper was created in 1957 by the Sydney Turf Club (STC) – ready to add a new and prestigious race to their autumn carnival. One of the foundation directors, George Ryder, proposed that the Club hold a race restricted to two-year-olds with set weights.

Track: Right-handed

Weight: Set Weights; colts and geldings – 56+1⁄2 kg; fillies 54+1⁄2 kg

  • Total Nominations: 1,937 yearlings
    • 953 colts/geldings
    • 984 fillies

📊 Sprint vs. Stamina Distribution (Top 10 Sires)

  • Sprint-Oriented Sires: 7 (I Am Invincible, Snitzel, Zoustar, Home Affairs, Stay Inside, Written Tycoon, Farnan)
  • Miler/Stamina-Influenced Sires: 3 (Too Darn Hot, Wootton Bassett, Ole Kirk)

➡️ ~75% of the top 10 sires are sprint-focused, reflecting the 1200m nature of the Golden Slipper and the commercial premium on early speed.

Phenological traits encompasses the impressive Farnan, a Champion two-year-old claiming the 2020 Golden Slipper, where he expresses forward acceleration: stride length and frequency to quicken—hallmark of elite juveniles.

Farnan colt Farnicle from New Zealand’s G1 performing mare Jennifer Eccles (Rip Van Winkle) displays his sires determination.

The Miler Stamina type sire will balance through sprinter mares and close 2nd place getter 2 year old Regulated Affair (Wootton Bassett) takes class in female breeding 2x Easy Date.

The Dark Horse new sire Stay Inside, 2021 Golden slipper winner has the European sprinter profile in broodmare sire Anabaa. The Home Affairs distaff with 2x Loika dam of Djebel & 1/2 brother Hierocles are Hall-mark carriers of 2 yr old champions. (n.b. 1/2 brother Phidias, Argentina 7x leading sire @ genetic gold). The female family given to Loika (f.f. 5-j) is additional to the 5-j profile through Valognes, a legendary breeding influence to Australia’s very own Leica Lover & Rain Lover.

European & French bred into the sprint-heavy Slipper field make for their testing presence. Pinatubo benefiting the Australian bred mare through breeding lines Eljazzi (IRE) & Invincible Spirit + Danzig + Street Cry. As a performer he was in a class of his own and as sire, will he produce the Australian version of himself?

Winning on debut, Maurice has sired the ‘white’ 2yo filly Marga b/m sire King Kamehameha (1/2 sister Sodashi). Her action is interesting! 4×3 Sunday Silence.

Real tough for Golden Slipper predictions where anything is possible yet amazing to entertain a few Snapshots towards the new racing season ahead.

my bloke’s been ticking over really good

2yo King of Pop colt over 1200m new track record @ 1.09.13

On Pedigree https://www.pedigreequery.com/king+of+pop11 , the dominant profile places (once again) elite dam 4x6x5 Easy Date – her details are covered to post a blue hen pings G2 winner, Leica Lucy (NZ), **Easy Date 5x5x5.

King of Pop’s grand-dam Weiner is Snitzel’s 1/2 sister. Also the family of Hinchinbrook (Fastnet Rock – Snippet’s Lass by Snippet)

A prior research @ Farnan post (September 2020) far out speed…Farnan (AUS), 1/2 brother in sire Sandbar (Snitzel), the sire of 2yo, Pierro Plate winner 1100m, gets the gelding Shaggy. Those two sires focus their dam family: to arrive head in genetics – Lion Hunter (Aus) thru Godswalk thru Intentionally (USA) taking affinity to Snitzel via 3rd dam sire-line In Reality (3×3 War Relic, 3x Fair Play) by Intentionally.

King of Pop broodmare sire All Too Hard circles the f.f. 1-P assigned family probability 2 Haplotype ‘family. In a hypothetical schedule, Court Martial, sire of Wilkes, thence Rory Jester, CM grand-sire of 2xVain – 4th dam sire of Lion Hunter, Claude’s (ITY) sire Hornbeam (4th dam sire of African Queen, Troy in Street Cry) and likely, the sire nick-cross in Farnan/All Too Hard.

King of Pop’s female family 2-c, suggests Haplotype L4 – generally designated upon families 2.

The quality of any pedigree is keying to what set the Type across. Complex. In regards to last article, the re-visitation of classic chef Teddy is transformative refining and goes a long road breeding still dynamite.

4x https://www.pedigreequery.com/sans+tares

In 1940, Sans Tares was sent to the U.S. by breeder to avoid appropriation by German Army during the II World War (from The Thoroughbred Record Jun 15 1940).RRE
sent to France in 1947.
Died in 1965.
Dam of 5 SW, including Washington DC International S. winner Worden and Wilkes winner of the Prix Edgard de la Charme and Champion Australian Sire 3 times

To Notes (available) on Breeding in France post WWII, reveals that French breeding had to live on its own resources, utilize to the utmost with their notable successes to native blood lines. For example, in 1945, one third of the prizes distributed in races was won by the descendants of 🏆Teddy, Bruleur, Alcantara II & Massine.

understand…

To re-examine ‘Teddy’ daughters, his fine recognizable influence is very, very relevant. 4×4 Teddy = Buckpasser, in Danehill. Dancing Show (Bull Lea/Mr Busher) – Teddy daughter Tara, grand-dam Wilkes Crown Jester – Hitting Away > Easy Date, Mr Prospector, Troy/Helen Street > Worden (Fr), Godswalk (USA), Wilkes/Vain, 3rd dam to Casino Prince , Garden Green (IRE) 5×5 Teddy, Helsinge, More Than Ready > Good Landing 4×5 Teddy, + Woodman (Mr Prospector) and King of Pop’s distaff Snippet’s Lass, is to a Teddy daughter Britannica (FR), exported to USA.

Why? Its since the genetic clean up @ Bend Or records (correction Tadcaster) @Teddy – the prototype individual is a Martha Lynn type. Martha Lynn is He…Teddy provides Haplotype L4.

Pedigree is designing... science informs protein-allele synthesis & the racing model suitably depicted. Yet fundamentals ‘if’ an overly rapid expansion in production of 1 trait is to the expense of other traits, it ultimately proves itself detrimental to other.

Breeding how’s are – He, brings himself back across his daughters. Teddy.

In Ken McLean’s words: in every instance their pedigrees reveal a heavy build-up of similarly related ancestors connecting up with each other.

Teddy. (caste aside by British breeding, his potency upgraded US breeding to a supreme level. ARTICLE

King of Pop was an $800,000 buy for his trainers from North Bloodstock’s Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling draft in 2024. https://catalogue.magicmillions.com.au/lot/24GPR/377
