2011 Rosehill Guineas

Kiwi star Jimmy Choux was too good for his Australian rivals in this Group 1 feature, travelling nicely off the pace until the straight where he had enough speed to pick up front running Retrieve and go on to score a decisive win. Retrieve managed to hold on for second, well clear of Shamrocker.
