Randwick co-trainer is bullish about colt's chance of landing world's richest 2YO race
-
SYDNEY - Five years after tasting Golden Slipper success for the first time with Farnan, Adrian Bott is hoping history can repeat as he prepares to saddle up two of the young stallion's sons in the world's richest 2YO race on March 22.
Farnan is the sire of Tulloch Lodge colts North England and Farcited, who with Zousain filly Bellazaine form Bott and training partner Gai Waterhouse's three-pronged assault in the A$5 million (S$4.22 million) Group 1 Golden Slipper (1,200m) at Rosehill.
"He's got three in the Slipper, two for us, so it's a good effort for him in his first season and a good sign of what is to come from them," said Bott, who notched his second Golden Slipper with Lady Of Camelot last year.
North England, who has drawn barrier No. 9, staked his Golden Slipper claims early in the season with a solid third to ill-fated stable-mate King Kirk in the Breeders' Plate (1,000m) on Oct 5 and a tough victory in the Golden Gift (1,100m) on Nov 9.
