Divine Mercy powers home late to win Kimberley Cup
Punters gathered at the Broome Turf Club donning their best frocks and shirts for one for the biggest days of the Broome racing season at the weekend — the Kimberley Cup. But before the feature race, Tegan Gasior won Fashions on the Field with her beautiful violet dress and matching fascinator. The Kimberley Cup, run over 2070 metres, was won by Divine Mercy, trained by Darryn Pateman and ridden by Natika Riordan, in a time of 2.09.71. The seven-year-old gelding powered home late to claim the $35,000 feature at Broome. Striking Fella, trained by Peter Bamford and ridden by Kristy Bennett, finished second just 0.26 lengths behind, while third place went to Gambler's Gold, ridden by Kyra Yuill and also trained by Pateman. The Broome racing season continues with two meetings remaining, culminating in the Broome Cup on August 16.

Magnaburma takes home the win at Broome's Race Day Two
Under a clear sky, punters in their finest fashion descended on the Broome Turf Club for an afternoon of high-octane action at Race Day Two on Saturday June 7. All eyes were on the much-anticipated Race 6 — the $20,000 GKM Handicap — which saw Magnaburma win in a thriller. The five-year-old gelding (trained by Kayla Farrell and ridden by Mollie Clark) flew home in a time of 1 minute 24.48 seconds. Not even a two-length gap was enough to separate second and third, with Choixway (Anthony Barton, Simone Altieri) finishing a strong second 2.4 lengths behind the winner. This four-year-old gelding, who was heavily backed by punters, looked dangerous throughout the race but couldn't quite catch the Magnaburma. Rounding off the podium in third place was Guard The Safe (Peter Bamford, Kristy Bennett) — another solid performer in the six-year-old gelding's career. Guard The Safe, who looked to be in contention for a late surge, finished three lengths off the lead, ensuring the race was full of excitement from start to finish.
