Golden Slipper - Top end of town or cheapies again?

Breednet - Thursday March 22
A year after $20,000 cheapie She Will Reign walked away with the Golden Slipper, the top end of town have a better hand this time but the cheapies won't be giving it up lightly in this weekend's running of the world's richest two-year-old race.

Estijaab17 of the 20 acceptors were offered at yearling sales with seven of them making more than $400,000 headed by the $1.7 million Snitzel filly Estijaab, the equal highest priced yearling by her sire last year.

She's one of three Snitzel's set to line up with the other two, Sandbar (650k) and Prairie Fire (625k) also costing a pretty penny, so while they cost plenty these days, the Snitzel breed can certainly deliver in giving you a shot at the big bucks early.

At the "affordable" end of the scale, Sizzling filly Sizzling Belle at $50,000 is the cheapest, and at $71 in the current markets that fairytale has a mountain to climb however Ef Troop and Seabrook look genuine hopes of a fairytale result for the affordable brigade.

Seabrook is coming off a win in the Sweet Embrace Stakes as her final lead up and Ef Troop is coming off a close second in the Todman Stakes.
