Ron Quinton won four Golden Slippers as a jockey and took great delight in preparing improving filly Peeping to win a stakes race at this year's meeting.

"I've got some great times here on Slipper day. Four Golden Slippers, unbelievable. You never forget," Quinton said.

Quinton made the Golden Slipper his own during the 1980s, winning on Marscay, Sir Dapper, Rory's Jester and Marauding.

He has been a fan of Peeping since he first saw her and she notched her first stakes win at her fifth start in Saturday's Listed Sebring at Rosehill.

Quinton's former apprentice Sam Clipperton positioned Peeping ($5) into a perfect trail and she let down well in the straight to defeat Music Magnate by a neck with a long neck to Mr Bogart third.

"She's come a long way in a short time," Quinton said.

The trainer had special praise for Clipperton.

"He's like another son to me. He lived with (Quinton's wife) Marg and I for three and a half years and we've become family."

Clipperton also said it was a massive thrill to win on Slipper day, especially for his former boss.

"She's always shown Ron and the team a lot of ability and it's amazing how she's climbed the grades," Clipperton said.

Kumaon suffered the worst of interference early in the race when the colt made heavy contact with the running rail, leaving jockey James McDonald with a chunk out of riding boot.

Kumaon trailed the field for the remainder of the race.
