SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) — My Miss Aurelia won the $100,000 Mandy’s Gold Stakes for fillies and mares Wednesday at Saratoga Race Course in the 2011 2-year-old filly champion’s injury-delayed return to competition.
She was making her first start since taking the Nov. 4 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs and was last from the starting gate, trailing four opponents into the stretch turn before rider Julien Leparoux asked her to give chase.
