Coolmore's Shinzo Hands Waller First Slipper Victory Before March 18 there were only a few trophies missing from Chris Waller's illustrious cabinet and the iconic Golden Slipper Stakes (G1) was one that had previously eluded the champion trainer. However, he finally added the juvenile contest to his CV when the Coolmore-raced colt Shinzo produced an impressive display to win the coveted Rosehill group 1…. The race was billed as a clash of the titans with powerhouse operations Godolphin and Coolmore, as well as Newgate Farm and partners all well-represented and in the end it turned out to be Godolphin versus Coolmore, with the latter coming home with the spoils. Shinzo was ridden by visiting jockey Ryan Moore, who had already tasted group 1 glory earlier in the afternoon aboard the William Haggas-trained Dubai Honour in the Ranvet Stakes (G1), and he was happy to bide his time on Shinzo in the early part of the contest. As they turned in Moore produced Shinzo up the rail and his mount showed an impressive burst of speed to defeat dual group 2 winner Cylinder by just over a length. Bloodhorse
