Smyly victorious in Rocky Mountain Derby

Filly Smyly just got up by a neck in a strong renewal of the Rocky Mountain Derby.

A few strides into the race Tds Quarter Moon bolted to the outside rail, giving Smyly from post 9 plenty of room to gain on the leaders Sticky Lou Who (1) and Secretsthatshekeeps (2). Smyly won by a neck in a final time of 17.792 for the 350 yards.

Smyly is a 3-year-old filly by Separate Interest out of One Tempting Chick (One Famous Eagle). She was ridden by Cordarelton Benn for trainer Chris Gandarilla and owner Celenes’s Racing.
