Photographer Gavin MacLeod recorded the defining moment at Borrowdale Park yesterday afternoon when Lily Blue surged ahead to win the 2400m Zimbabwe Derby by 1.50 lengths.

By Black Minnaloushe (USA), Lily Blue passed this ultimate test of speed and stamina – once again beating the boys with consummate ease.

Congratulations to the owners, the Gin ‘ll Fix It Syndicate (nominee Kirsty Stidolph), Robin MacLeod and Betty Prosser; trainer Bridget Stidolph, jockey Morgan Nyamagwete and breeder Geoff Armitage.

Memories are made of this,.
