A total of 1925 juveniles have been nominated for the 2026 Golden Slipper, with I Am Invincible leading the way with 95 of his soon-to-be two-year-old crop among the entries, while there are 75 by his Group 1-winning son Home Affairs.
Entries for the $5 million race on March 21 closed earlier this week and the progeny of 150 sires are represented.
Leading the way in terms of nominators is Yulong with 115, while the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable has 107, Godolphin 95, Chris Waller 94 and Ciaron Maher 91.
The $3 million Home Affairs colt out of Shout The Bar, the sale-topper out the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale, is among the nominees, as is the most expensive colt out the Magic Millions, the Snitzel x Humma Humma purchased by Ciaron Maher for $2.8 million.
All in all, 35 of the 38 million-dollar yearlings sold in Australia in 2025 are in the Slipper nominations.
The $3.2 million Home Affairs x Sunlight filly, which topped Magic Millions, is named Liia La La. She is already in Japan and is not among the entries for Slipper.
