While horses only get one shot at winning the Golden Slipper, jockeys have the chance to participate in multiple events over the years. Several jockeys have amassed impressive records over the years winning the race on multiple occassions. One of the most successful jockeys in the races history is Shane Dye, who incredibly won the race four times in a row between 1989 – 1992. Ron Quinton, now a trainer, also won the Slipper on four occassions in the 1980s.
More recently, Tommy Berry won his third Golden Slipper on Stay Inside, he has a chance to join Dye and Quinton on four wins in the coming years.
