In eye-catching fashion, Temple City Terror (m, 6, Temple City–It Takes Two, by More Than Ready) roared in the stretch to win the GIII Rood and Riddle Dowager S. by open lengths and secure her first graded-stakes victory at 5-2. In no hurry as leaders set an open quarter of :23.86, and a :48.14, 1:13.40 split to follow, the dark bay launched her patented move coming off the final turn and inhaled her rivals to come home in 2:27.98. Luck Money (Lookin at Lucky) and Sister Otoole (Amira's Prince) rounded out the minor awards.
