Master trainer Gai Waterhouse has done it again, watching on as Lady Of Camelot stunned the favourites to win the $5m Golden Slipper at Rosehill. The Waterhouse and Adrian Bott-trained filly entered the race in the shadow of stablemate Storm Boy, but upstaged to the favourite to deliver Waterhouse her eighth Slipper.
Waterhouse’s priceless reaction to Golden Slipper win. The $6.50 shot held off Coleman down the straight with Storm Boy rounding out the top three. Waterhouse was watching on from her home with her family and Channel 7 cameras picked up her priceless reaction. Cheering on Storm Boy in the home stretch, Waterhouse’s frustration quickly turned to delight when she realised Lady Of Camelot was going to hold on.
