Sepoy has claimed the Blue Diamond Stakes – Golden Slipper double today by winning the richest two-year-old race in the world at Rosehill Gardens.
The Elusive Quality two-year-old won the $3.5 million Golden Slipper by a sensational two-lengths in today’s race.
Mosheen ran on well to claim a gallant second-place, while Elite Falls proved she was at her best and passed the post in third.
In a race that has great consequences for the breeding prospects of the runners, Sepoy has cemented himself as one of the most lucrative future stallions in the world.
The Peter Snowden-trained Sepoy was the $2.90 favourite at Luxbet for the 2011 Golden Slipper.
Before the race began, there was trouble in the barrier stalls that resulted in the shock scratching of both Fast And Sexy and second favourite Smart Missile.
Peter Snowden was lost for words when asked how he felt after the race.
“This is the best day of my life apart from my marriage,” he said.
“It’s the best feeling of my life.”
Sepoy’s win was the accumulation of many years of hard work on Peter Snowden’s part.
“I work my whole life for this,” Snowden said.
“Everyone’s got a signature race and this would be mine.”
Sepoy received a staggering $2 million for his win in today’s Golden Slipper, bringing his total prize earnings to $2.85 million from just six starts.
