genuine risk beat the older misty gallore in the ruffian.

as for the above, in which of those races BnD beat males? and finish second and third three other times vs males? that was four grade one, classic races that risk took part in, with a third, a first in the derby, and then second in the other two legs.


bold n determined only won by a nose when she beat risk-she passed risk in the stretch, and was ahead by about half a length when risk started coming back at her, only to run out of stretch-and risk was also making her first start off a 13 week layoff.
