The Golden Slipper picture is taking shape after two of the major lead up races on the weekend but is the late comer about to throw himself into the final reckoning? Can Frankel sire a Golden Slipper winner? We delve into where we think the juveniles are at now we are right at the pointy end.

The richest race on the weekend was in New Zealand, and nearly a boilover - there was blood in a nostril. We take a look at those NZ majors with Australian trips in the plan for some of the winners.

In the Australian Group Ones we saw two outstanding auction purchases produce stunning results in Caballus and the “pedigree fluke” Sheza Alibi. And of course there’s all the love for Tom Kitten.

There’s a lot covered this week. Even a bit of Milton Show action!
