Although entered in the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, there may be slight change in plans in store for Temple City Terror after the mare’s dominant victory Oct. 23 in the $294,688 Rood and Riddle Dowager Stakes (G3T) at Keeneland
After being second to last for the first mile, Gaffalione inched Temple City Terror into the clear around the bend. She slingshotted into the lane, driving past the leaders and widening her advantage to the wire.
Spurred on by the raucous cheering from dozens of the syndicate members watching their mare from the rail, Temple City Terror streaked to the finish three lengths in front of Luck Money, with Sister O’Toole third. Her powerful closing quarter in :22.93 lowered the Dowager stakes mark to 2:27.98.
