Jungle Peace (Ire) (Bungle Inthejungle {GB}) hadn’t been winning by a lot since arriving stateside, winning each of her last two starts by a mere half length. In Sunday’s GIII Senorita, jockey Umberto Rispoli once again timed it just right to get the filly home a head in front of 4-1 shot Amorita (Liam’s Map) while giving the Irish-bred filly her first taste of black-type.
Breaking alertly from the two-hole, Jungle Peace exchanged blows with the rail-riding favorite Cloe (Tiz the Law), but soon moved ahead of that rival, carving out an opening quarter in :21.83. Still keeping the 4-5 choice at bay turning for home through a half in :44.26, 7-2 Jungle Peace shook clear momentarily but had to dig deep to fend off the oncoming Amorita, who got within a head at the wire. Cloe was a 1 1/4 lengths back in third.
“The filly was working well, I was really pleased with the works and, her first time down the hill, she acted like a professional,” said Rispoli after the win. ” I am thankful we got it.”
Jungle Peace finished sixth after a troubled first go at Navan last September before rounding out her European campaign with a third in a seven-furlong test over Dundalk’s synthetic Oct. 11. Freshened for her American bow, the bay came from just off the pace to narrowly score in a 6 1/2-furlong race at Santa Anita Feb/ 15 and made it two straight with a front-running score cutting back to six panels Mar. 9.
“We wanted to try to get a mile out of her and we knew that might be stretching with the pedigree, but we really liked the way she dug in the first time and thought she could definitely sprint,” explaining winning co-owner Michael Nentwig. “She doesn’t have the best pedigree in the world, but she tries hard. We will take a good mare that tries hard over one with a good page any day. We are going to try to stretch her out to a mile before the end of the meet. We are going to try that and hopefully a little later 3-year-old races at Del Mar.”
Pedigree Notes:
With Sunday’s Senorita victory, Jungle Peace earned her sire’s fifth graded/group winner in addition to his 12th overall black-type scorer. The winner’s dam, Peace Treaty, is also responsible for a year-old gelding by Havana Grey (GB) named Havana Smoke {Ire}, in addition to an unraced juvenile colt by Coulsty (Ire). Most recently, she produced a filly by the latter in 2024.

The 41-year-old claimed his second Aqueduct spring meet title after clinching the 2022 meeting with 19 wins. He completed the meet with a 73-21-9-17 record and earnings of $1,144,463, good for a win rate of 28.77% and an in-the-money rate of 64.38%.

The 61-year-old also captured both the trainer and owners’ titles with 51 and 22 wins, respectively. Rice now holds six Aqueduct spring meet titles, adding to wins in 2011-12, 2017, and 2023-24.
