There's a G1 race for fillies and mares this weekend...
3X317 Keep The Peace 2 108 57.0 Opie Bosson Shaune Ritchie, Cambridge 8X351 Barinka 15 102 57.0 Hayden Tinsley Karen Zimmerman, Otaki 63423 Eileen Dubh 17 99 57.0 Sam Spratt Francis Finnegan, Woodville 14006 Dancing Jess 9 98 57.0 Noel Harris Dick & Chris Bothwell, Stratford 12430 Dasoudi 8 98 57.0 Michael Walker Jon Miller, Pukekohe Park 20812 Her Royal Highness 12 98 57.0 Jason Collett (a) Jakki Good, Waiuku 0X111 Guiseppina 16 97 57.0 James McDonald (a) Steven Ramsay & Julia Ritchie, Maungatautari 22094 Casabella Lane 5 96 57.0 Mark Hills Jim Pender, Tauranga 34597 Obsession 11 96 57.0 Matthew Cameron Frank Ritchie, Cambridge 51661 Bedlum 10 93 57.0 Buddy Lammas Peter McKenzie, Levin 94532 Adaline 7 90 57.0 Craig Grylls Stephen McKee, Ardmore 532X2 Headsup 6 90 57.0 Leith Innes Lance Noble, Matamata 30155 Mercury Mistress 4 86 57.0 Michael Coleman Lance Noble, Matamata 52110 Banchee 13 86 54.5 Vinnie Colgan John Sargent, Matamata 43190 Smoulder 1 80 54.5 Chad Ormsby Graeme & Mark Sanders, Te Awamutu 13112 Fleur de Lune 14 79 54.5 Jason Jago Lee Somervell, Cambridge 53441 Allende 3 80 57.0 Rogan Norvall Lee Somervell, Cambridge Lovely field! I think Banchee and Keep The Peace will be hard to beat. It'll be interesting to see how Guiseppina goes in her first try at a G1. But this is the race NZers are most interested in this Saturday... $1.5m, Group 1, David Jones 150th AJC Australian Derby (2400m) Runner Win Place JIMMY CHOUX 2.05 1.21 SHAMROCKER 7.00 2.20 RETRIEVE 7.50 2.30 KING GLADIATOR 13.00 3.40 I THINK I DO 15.00 3.80 LIGHT BRIGADE 15.00 3.80 MASQUERADER 17.00 4.20 PRAECIDO 21.00 5.00 HE'S REMARKABLE 26.00 6.00 ANACHEEVA 26.00 6.00 DOMESKY 41.00 9.00 SHADOWOFEXCELLENCE 81.00 17.00 DUCARIUS 301.00 61.00 HIGH DENSITY 301.00 61.00 Go Jimmy!

Fleur de Lune was 3rd - a 3yo filly having her first try in a stakes race!
It was a surprising result, but Barinka is a very good mare, and this was a strong performance. Banchee was 7th, but only 1.9 lengths away. Keep The Peace is going out for a break - Shaune Ritchie thinks she must have had enough of racing for a while, just like Jimmy. I'm still proud of Jimmy - 10 starts this season for 7 wins (3 G1). He won the Hawke's Bay Guineas, 2000 Guineas, Great Northern Guineas, Wellington Stakes, Waikato Guineas, NZ Derby and Rosehill Guineas - no horse has ever won all those races before. He was just tired today. A few months off and he'll be good as new.

At least the Derby winner was a NZ-bred, the filly Shamrocker, by O'Reilly, one of your stalwarts, from the fine old NZ family tracing to Lady Gwen.
