Despite a full career in South Africa, River Jetez made 8 appearances abroad at the ages of 7 and 8, six of those at Gr1 level, in five different countries! Although she did win a Gr1 at home, and that being a big one in the J&B Met, she would usually finish in the money or close to it at that level. Most of her winning form came in the Gr2's. It might not look like it at first glance, but her form abroad was quite similar.

In Dubai, River Jetez ran second in the Dubai Duty Free, beaten less than a length by Presvis.
In England, she ran 5th but was beaten under four lengths in the Falmouth Stakes.
In Hong Kong, her 2.50 length defeat to Ambitious Dragon was only good enough for 6th place.
In Singapore, Gitano Hernando only beat her by half a length.
In USA, she was only beaten 1.50 lengths into third by Stacelita in the Beverley D.
Her only poor run at Gr1 level abroad was her final start, in the Jebel Hatta in Dubai.

River Jetez made her debut in South Africa in September 2006 as a three year old. Her final start was in Dubai on 10 March 2012, as an 8 year old. Her career record reads (42) 12-8-9.
