The Australian Turf Club has opened up bidding for naming rights sponsorship of the Golden Slipper.
TAB has held the naming rights for the world’s richest two-year-old race as well as the Golden Slipper carnival for the past two years. Prior to that, Longines sponsored the Slipper from 2016 until 2023, while the rights have also belonged to Tooheys New and AAMI since 2009.
“A rare and exciting opportunity is available to partner with the Australian Turf Club to align your brand with the iconic $5 million Golden Slipper - the world’s richest race for two-year-olds and a highlight on Australia’s sporting calendar,” an ATC promotion said,
“Celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2026, the Golden Slipper Carnival offers unmatched brand exposure through live broadcasts into 67 countries, year-round media coverage, and engagement with a premium audience of racegoers, industry leaders, and corporate guests.”
“This exclusive partnership includes naming rights to the Golden Slipper Carnival, Golden Slipper Day, the Group 1 Golden Slipper, and key lead-in races.”
Racing NSW confirmed on Friday that the Golden Eagle, held in spring each year, would relocate to Randwick from 2025 onwards.
