Last month’s Blue Diamond winner Tagaloa is the $5 favourite at TAB for Saturday’s $3.5 million Group 1 Golden Slipper at Rosehill Gardens following this morning’s barrier draw.
Tagaloa firmed from $6 to $5 after barrier six was drawn for the Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young-trained colt at Racing NSW headquarters.
Tagaloa is one of seven thoroughbreds to have at least a share of favouritism for Saturday’s Golden Slipper since TAB Fixed Odds were available on October 4:
- October 4 Beyliks and Every Rose ($26)
- October 5 Global Quest ($17)
- October 7 Global Quest and Every Rose ($17)
- November 9 Dame Giselle ($13)
- November 12 Dame Giselle ($11)
- January 18 Cellsabeel ($7)
- January 21 Cellsabeel ($6)
- February 22 Farnan ($9) ** Cellsabeel $6-$11 **
- February 23 Farnan and Tagaloa ($9)
- February 24 Farnan ($8)
- March 7 Farnan ($4.50)
- March 9 Farnan ($5)
- March 17 Tagaloa ($5)
Farnan held off Tagaloa in the Todman Stakes at Royal Randwick on March 7 but has eased from $5 favourite pre-barrier draw to $6 after gate 14 was allocated to the Silver Slipper winner.
