Posted on Saturday, July 12th, 2008
J. Paul Reddam’s 4-year-old California bred filly Mistical Plan upset the even-money favorite Dream Rush to win the $400,000 Princess Rooney Handicap (G1) at Calder Race Course on Saturday, Summit of Speed day. Miraculous Miss rallied late in the stretch to finish second, while Dream Rush settled for third place.
The Princess Rooney is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge “Win and You’re In” program, where Mistical Plan now automatically qualifies for the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at the $25.5 million Breeders’ Cup World Championships, to be run this fall during the Oak Tree Meeting at Santa Anita Park, California on October 24 and 25.
Ridden by jockey Corey Nakatani for trainer Doug O’Neill, Mistical Plan ran in tandem with Dream Rush for much of the 6-furlong race until shaking loose from her rival at the quarter pole and then pouring it on down the stretch. Mistical Plan drew off to win by five and three-quarter lengths to get the distance in 1:10.76. Miraculous Miss was just a quarter length in front of Dream Rush at the wire.
In the Princess Rooney Handicap, Mistical Plan paid $18.20, $9.40 and $4.20. Miraculous Miss returned $4.80 and $2.80 and Dream Rush paid $2.10 for the show.
