Pass the Peace (30 April 1986 – 2010) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was one of the best two-year-old fillies of her generation in Britain and Ireland in 1988, when she won four races including the Debutante Stakes and the Cheveley Park Stakes. After winning the Fred Darling Stakes on her three-year-old debut she failed to win again, although she was placed in both the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and the Sun Chariot Stakes. She later became a successful broodmare.
Pass the Peace was a bay mare bred in Ireland by John Kent. She was sired by Alzao, a son of Lyphard who never won above Group Three level, but became a successful breeding stallion, his progeny including Alborada, Second Set and Shahtoush. Pass the Peace's dam Lover's Rose, was a minor winner in Ireland and a half-sister of the Geoffrey Freer Stakes winner Swell Fellow. She was descendant of the broodmare Grace Dalrymple, the female-line ancestor of the Australian champion Manikato.
As a yearling, Pass the Peace was offered for sale and bought by Brian Bell. The filly was initially sent into training with Paul Cole at Whatcombe in Oxfordshire. She was ridden in all but one of her races by Richard Quinn.
Pass the Peace made her racecourse debut in a five furlong maiden race at Salisbury Racecourse on 24 May. She started the 9/4 favourite, led for most of the way and won by a length from Whisper the Wind. She started favourite again in the Acorn Stakes at Epsom Downs Racecourse on 4 June but was beaten four lengths into second place by Waki Rainbow. On her next appearance she won a minor event at Windsor Racecourse in July beating Memphis Blues by a length, with a six length gap back to the rest of the nine runners.
