RACE REPORT
They arrived at the start early, although Fluffy Ruffles was fractious, but they got away on time. Fredith led from Caspia, Emma Olivia and Galatee. After 2 furlongs Emma Olivia took the helm and went on from Caspia, demoting the favourite to third. After half a mile Caspia assumed control and maintained her position until inside the distance where she was resolutely challenged by both Fluffy Ruffles and Fredith. However, it was Fredith who proved the stronger to win by 1 1/2 lengths, with a head separating Caspia and Fluffy Ruffles. |
