Buy The Sport broke fairly, but was 'trapped' by the field-mainly Sightseek-who was in turn trapped. She finsihed over two very nice contenders, Take Charge Lady and Lady Tak. She might've done better, perhaps, if Day had ridden-but she did well considering what did happen to Day. She looked like she was going to make her move, but didn't  factor.
