Randwick Review: Don Corleone Emerges As A Golden Slipper Threat
January 23, 2023
Peter and Paul Snowden’s Don Corleone’s stunning debut victory at Randwick has given the powerful stable another piece of powerful artillery for their attack on the feature two-year-old races.
The stable already has King’s Gambit at the top of the markets for the Golden Slipper and Blue Diamond and Don Corleone joined him in a high up position
The powerful colt by Extreme Choice ran over the top of his rivals to win the Petaluma Handicap (1000 metres) at his debut.
That event has proven to be a great reference point for the Golden Slipper Stakes as both Estijaab (2018) and Stay Inside (2021) went on to win Australia’s feature two-year-old event.
Stay Inside, who was trained by Michael Freedman, was also by Extreme Choice who is Don Corleone’s sire as well.
Peter Snowden said he wanted Don Corleone, a $650,000 yearling by boom stallion Extreme Choice to make a statement regarding his talent.
“He’s a very nice horse. There’s plenty of him. He’s tough, he’s got everything going for him and he’s got a great attitude,” Snowden said on Sky Racing.
