Gai Waterhouse | Racing Post photo

Wednesday's Australian-flavoured installment of This or That features trainer Gai Waterhouse, and given her legendary status, we've given her a little more rein. After all, she has won SIX Golden Slippers, so she's entitled to it! Find out which big Aussie race she prefers, what great race meeting she'd like to conquer and a little bit about her taste buds.

Long black or flat white? Flat white.

Golden Slipper or Melbourne Cup?
Why not both? 🙂 The Golden Slipper is the stallion making race, and the Cup is the greatest staying flat race and has the biggest exposure worldwide.

Phone call or text?
I use both equally. I'm usually communicating all day long with phone calls & texts.

Breeders' Cup or Royal Ascot winner?
I'd have to say Royal Ascot. I took Wandjina to Royal Ascot a few years ago. I've never had a runner in the Breeders' Cup, but never say never.

Skiing or beach holiday?
Both. Sicily is fabulous for a beach holiday and we love Aspen & St. Moritz for skiing.

Pedigree or physical? Physical.

Morning trackwork or afternoon at the races? Morning trackwork.

Sole ownership or syndicated? They are both great for racing.

Savoury or sweet? Sweet.

Floral or colour? Colour.

Diamonds or pearls?
I'm lucky enough that my husband gives me both 🙂

Winx or Arrogate? Winx.

Dogs or cats? Dogs.
