Sepoy defied history today to win the $3.5 million Golden Slipper and claim the Blue Diamond/ Slipper double, which has not been done in over twenty years.

Smart Missile, trained by Anthony Cummings caused shockwaves when he was scratched at the barrier, followed by Chris Waller's Fast And Sexy.

But Sepoy was in a class of his own anyway, winning by a clear two lengths.

Trainer Peter Snowdon was overcome, saying it was the best day of his life, apart from his wedding day.
