BOY

CHAMP ON TRACK FOR MORE VALLEY GLORY

Trainer Ben Gleeson says the sweeping home turn at The Valley is star sprinter Imperatriz’s favourite territory. “She absolutely loves it,” said Gleeson as he gave a glowing report on the mare’s condition ahead of Saturday’s Group 1 William Reid Stakes. 12-page Valley liftout starts p23. p7.

EASTER EDITION NEXT WEEK

The world’s top-ranked jockey Ryan Moore is back In Oz for the plum ride on unbeaten STORM BOY in Saturday’s $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes at Rosehill. It should be yet another proﬁtable trip for Moore, who is seeking back-to-back Slippers. He won the 2023 edition on Shinzo. Full form for Rosehill’s massive race day — featuring ﬁve Group 1s — starts on p13. p23.

Australia’s favourite racing newspaper, with full form guides for at least 13 meetings from Friday to Sunday, plus fields/colours/tips for other TAB meetings, plenty of great reading, stats, crossword, trivia quiz and more. This week, the Golden Slipper heads what is arguably Australia’s greatest race day, with Gai Waterhouse on course for a record eighth win in the big one. The Slipper tops a five-pronged Group 1 card at Rosehill, while Imperatriz returns to weight-for-age racing in the Group 1 William Reid at The Valley. There’s also black type at Morphettville and Ascot, while Sunday is Bairnsdale Cup day and the County Championships hopefuls get their last roll of the dice in the Gouldburn Wild Card.
