History was made at Royal Randwick on Saturday as Gary Portelli’s impressive two-year-old Fireburn became the first filly since 1996 to complete the Golden Slipper – Inglis Sires’ double. The daughter of Rebel Dane went around as the short $2.50 favourite in the 1400m Group 1 feature, and it didn’t take long for her dominant turn of foot to do the talking. Brenton Avdulla’s ride from last to first in the Slipper was the stuff of legends, and it was another easy watch for punters that backed the pair as…
