Willow was all the rage in the betting for this listed race, but she failed to land a significant blow, the big-priced Rocky Sky galloping her rivals into submission under an attacking ride, a few of the beaten riders probably guilty of thinking she’d come back to them, though she never really looked like being caught despite setting a strong pace in front.
