As an ‘elite talent with an electric turn of foot,’ Stay Inside achieved a 105.7 WFA performance rating, making him one of the most dominating Group 1 Golden Slipper winners.
By holding-off the Rosehill Guineas winner Anamoe by 1.8 lengths in the Golden Slipper, run in 1-10.76 on a Soft 7 track, he had previously taken out the Pierro Plate of 1100m by 4 lengths.

Snitzel’s super-fast son Wild Ruler is the second of Newgate’s four new sires this season and was a high-class winner at 2, 3 and 4 years including the weight-for-age AJ Moir Stakes.
With the 1000m AJ Moir featuring amongst so many sires, Wild Ruler also took out the Arrowfield Sprint of 1200m, the now sire-making Roman Consul Stakes and Inglis Nursery on debut.
Newgate says ‘Wild Ruler retires with almost identical credentials to champion First Season Sire Russian Revolution,’ who also won the Roman Consul, as did Fastnet Rock, Zoustar.
“I think he could be one of the better sprinters we’ve ever had,” said co-trainer Peter Snowden, with jockey James McDonald adding “he’s the real deal now and he’s just matured so much.”
