A Golden Slipper win has been a long time coming for Blake Shinn who has savoured every moment of his win on Capitalist.
In 2008, he missed the winning ride on Sebring through suspension and, although later that year he won the Melbourne Cup as a 20-year-old, the Slipper was the one that got away.
"Missing the Slipper on Sebring was heart-breaking," Shinn said.
"It was the one that got away and I thought he was my best chance to win one.
