ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) Mirage rallied to win the $58,000 feature for 3-year-old fillies by a neck Friday at Santa Anita, earning her first U.S. victory.
Ridden by Flavien Prat, Mirage ran a mile on turf in 1:35.87 and paid $10.60, $6.20 and $3.40.
Sheeza Milky Way returned $10.20 and $4.40, while even-money favorite Mokat was another 1 1/2 lengths back in third and paid $2.40 to show.
