This year's G1 Coolmore Classic winner Peeping (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}–Miss Marielle {Aus}, by Encosta de Lago {Aus}) has died due to complications from colic, according to published reports.

She had finished third in a Group 1-quality field in the G2 Guy Walter S. Feb. 27 and was trying Group 1 company for the first time in the Coolmore Classic Mar. 12, where she bested the next-out G1 Queen Of The Turf S. winner Azkadellia (NZ) (Shinko King {Ire}), with subsequent G1 Queen Elizabeth S. winner Lucia Valentina (NZ) (Savabeel {Aus}) back in fourth. Peeping was spelling in New South Wales when she suffered the colic attack.
