In its short history, the Inglis Nursery has unveiled two future Golden Slipper winning fillies, She Will Reign (2016) and Mossfun (2013); a Blue Diamond winner in Extreme Choice (2015), plus some handy sprinters such as Pane in the Glass, Twilight Royale and Diamond Earth.

The 2017 contenders are all blessed with 2yo speed influences on their dam’s side. There are also offspring of Golden Slipper winners Sebring, Pierro and Stratum. Special mention should go to Slipper placegetters Charge Forward, Foxwedge, Manhattan Rain, and late scratching at the barriers – Smart Missile!

Not to mention stallions like Written Tycoon that have proven themselves are top sires of 2yo’s and dam-sires Rory’s Jester and Flying Spur.

Could the 2018 Blue Diamond or Golden Slipper winner be unveiled on Saturday?
