Jolie's Shinju(JPN) wins Singapore Derby (Sin-G1) to Capture Triple Crown

  4-year-old Japanese-bred mare Jolie's Shinju (Jolie's Halo(USA) - Endearing Quality(USA)) won the Singapore Derby (Sin-G1) at Kranji Racecourse on July 12th to sweep the Singapore Triple Crown after winning the Patron's Bowl (Sin-G1) and the Singapore Derby Trial (Sin-G2).

  Originally raced for speed at shorter distances, the mare answered any doubts about her ability to run longer distances by winning the 2,000m race on the turf by a decisive 5 length margin.

  Purchased by owner Dr. K.C. Tan at the 2006 Hokkaido Autumn Sale for 3,150,000yen, Jolie's Shinju(JPN) has now won 9 of her 19 starts and has earned S$1,324,552.50.

  The connections are now considering racing Jolie's Shinju(JPN) in the Cox Plate (G1) in Melbourne in October later this year.
