The Todman Slipper Trial is a race for two-year-old colts & geldings only and is generally used as a lead up race to the Gr1 Golden Slipper Stakes, which is held in two weeks time over the same course and distance. Tierce (1991) was the last two-year-old to win the Todman Slipper Trial & Golden Slipper Stakes double.
The race will typically attract 2yo males on their way to the Slipper, and being run at level weights it generally suits the classier types entered. The winner of this race has the luxury of being exempt from the Golden Slipper ballot, which ensures a run is guaranteed in the $3.5 million race.
Colts & geldings tackling this race may have previously run in the Gr2 Skyline Stakes (1200m) one week earlier at Randwick, and they also have the option to tackle the Gr2 Pago Pago Stakes (1200m) the following week at Rosehill, before running in the Slipper.
Phelan Ready (2nd in 2009) went on to win the 2009 Golden Slipper Stakes after finishing second in this event, while Real Saga (2009) ran fourth in the Slipper.
Masquerader (2010) won an 1100m Canterbury midweek race on debut prior to winning this race at only his second start. Recent winners of the Todman Slipper Trial include Phelan Ready (2009) and Krupt (2008).

2010 Todman Slipper Stakes: Masquerader was worse than midfield turning for home and was well ridden to weave through to the centre of the track before storming home to hit the front inside the 100m mark for a top win. Decision Time (second) hit the lead inside the 200m before being run down in the final stanza, while Carved In Stone ran on fairly for third.
