Race history

The race is named after jockey Neville Sellwood (1922−1962), who rode champions Tulloch and Todman, first Golden Slipper Stakes winner.[2] Sellwood was also victorious in the USA and in 1962 and achieved what was perhaps his greatest success, victory on Larkspur in the Epsom Derby.[2] Sellwood died after a fall in 1962 at Maisons-Laffitte Racecourse, France.[2]
