Willow Grove, owned by Maletto won his maiden by a clear-cut five length margin back in the spring. The gray colt followed that winning debut with a narrow defeat in an allowance race before returning to winning ways when getting up close home when stepped up in trip to six furlongs last time.<\/p>\n<p>This Grade Three race was another step up again, both in distance and in class but Willow Grove relished the task. Settled towards the rear early, Maletto&#8217;s charge made smooth progress before hitting the front around a furlong and a half from home. Willow Grove soon put daylight between himself and the chasing pack as he forged clear for a two length win.<\/p>\n<p>Ainsworth, who was a last time out claiming race winner proved what a shrewd purchase he was by rewarding his new owner, Sheffler Stables with a second place finish. Moonshine Tour did best of the rest for Riggins Racing in finishing third.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.horseracingpark.com\/index.aspx?source=72\"><picture><source
