Background

Shinzo was foaled and raised at Coolmore and is by dual Group 1 winning mare Samaready. Samaready was bought by Coolmore in 2020 for $1.8million at the Inglis Chairman's Sale when she was carrying Shinzo in utero.[2]


Racing career

Shinzo made his race debut on 25 January 2023 in the Canonbury Stakes when finishing in third position.[3]

After finishing second at his next start in the Skyline Stakes, Shinzo then won the Pago Pago Stakes with jockey James McDonald on board. This victory assured the horse a start in the Golden Slipper just seven days later.[4]

On 18 March 2023, Shinzo started at odds of $16/1 in the Golden Slipper at Rosehill. Ridden by Ryan Moore, Shinzo settled midfield in the run before getting a rails run to win by 1¼ lengths. The victory was trainer Chris Waller's first win in the race. It also gave Waller the final leg of Australian racing's “Grand-Slam” having won the big 4 races; the Melbourne Cup, the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and the Golden Slipper.[5]
