A look at how Saturday’s Golden Slipper stacked up from a ratings perspective.

Marhoona was given an outstanding ride by Damian Lane to take the Golden Slipper at just her third start, which is a rare feat.

The Michael Freedman-trained filly has run to a Racing And Sports rating of 117, which is unexpectedly on the low end of Golden Slipper winners.

Only Belle Du Jour, Estijaab and Polar Success (all 116) have run a lower rating to win a Slipper, and given how the two-year-olds have been rating all season, that's not a surprise.

Sectionally speaking, Wodeton was the run of the race, coming home in the fastest last 600m, while Tempted was a touch unlucky, although I'm not convinced she wins if she gets out earlier as the other two were holding her on the line.

From reports it sounds as if Wodeton will pull up stumps but he'd be the horse to beat in the Sires if they do press on, while Marhoona also heads to the paddock.

The ATC Sires' and Champagne Stakes winner have to come from somewhere and the Golden Slipper likely provides the winner of those every year, but I'd be looking for different form if possible.

A horse like Vinrock coming up from Melbourne is rated 109 which, theoretically, would've finished fourth if you plugged that rating in, and there's a good chance the three ahead won't be in the Sires.
