Waterhouse & Bott are chasing Golden Slipper glory

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott always do the business for punters and online betting sites and they are targeting the Golden Slipper in 2024.

The world’s richest race for 2-year-olds, the Golden Slipper at Rosehill Gardens promises to be another compelling contest, which Waterhouse & Bott could dominate. 

As a training duo, Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott just seem to keep getting better and better and they are always delivering for both punters and Aussie bookmakers.

Their start to 2024 has sent shivers down the spines of those looking to claw them in and catch them up this season and they are showing no signs of easing off.

The Golden Slipper is a race that perfectly fits the profile of the Waterhouse & Bott operation and with a hearty A$5 million up for grabs, Waterhouse and Bott will pack out that card to give themselves the best chance of glory.

Cooking up a Storm Boy

The trajectory enjoyed by Storm Boy in recent months has been nothing other than seismic and he has long been touted as a Golden Slipper winner.

Having moved to New South Wales at the start of the year, Storm Boy has impressed in recent wins for both punters and online betting sites and now tops the Golden Slipper ante-post betting markets.

Delivering on the biggest stage of all will be the challenge here for Storm Boy but he remains a hugely impressive horse, who Waterhouse and Bott think the world of.

Lucky Lady of Camelot

Whilst Lady of Camelot doesn’t possess the public profile that Storm Boy does, she is a lightning quick horse, who could be one to watch in the congested Golden Slipper field.

How things run on the day at Rosehill Gardens remain to be seen but if the field opens up nicely for Lady of Camelot, she will take some stopping.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott seldom get their race choices wrong and consequently, Lady of Camelot has been entered into this race for one reason only – to win.

Busy day for Waterhouse and Bott

Having one horse in a contest as high profile as the Golden Slipper is an achievement but Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott are taking it to new extremes this year at Rosehill Gardens.

No fewer than 7 horse could line up for Waterhouse and Bott, with the whole bunch in with more than just a shout in the eyes of many Australian horse racing betting apps. 

Straight Charge, Espionage, Shangri La Express, Too Darn Lizzie, and Fully Lit are all very much in contention in the Golden Slipper, outside of the key shouts in Storm Boy and Lady of Camelot.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott continue to rewrite their own scripts when it comes to Australian racing and the Golden Slipper looks set to be dominated by them in 2024. With 7 potential entries, they have some superb horses in the mix and they will be a training duo to watch for punters and online betting sites alike at Rosehill Gardens this year.
