Sure enough, Blazing Sky came breezing across to take it by four lengths. "Ah!" cried the Duchess of Norfolk, 50, wife of the realm's premier duke. "How I like Newbury!" Indeed, Newbury had been very kind to her. On a wager of 70?, her ladyship collected $7,804.34, the tote jackpot, by backing the winners in all six races...
