Coastana, Temple City Terror Headline Sunday's Rood & Riddle Dowager

Belladonna Racing’s Coastana and Pocket Aces Racing and Somewhere Stable Kentucky’s Temple City Terror, who have been facing the likes of standout grass marathoner War Like Goddess, head a field of 11 fillies and mares entered Thursday for Sunday’s 31^st running of the $300,000 Rood & Riddle Dowager (G3) going 1½ miles on the turf.

The Rood & Riddle Dowager will go as the seventh race Sunday afternoon with a 4:12 p.m. post time. First post for the nine-race program is 1 p.m.

Adam Beschizza has the mount Sunday and will break from post one.

Trained by Brendan Walsh, Temple City Terror exits a fourth-place finish in the Flower Bowl in which she finished a little more than a length behind War Like Goddess. Prior to that, she had a runner-up finish by the same margin to winner War Like Goddess in the Glens Falls (G2).
