DEL MAR, Calif. (July 28, 2012) – California Cup Juvenile Fillies champion Starlight Magic rallied gamely in the stretch to win Saturday’s $200,000 Fleet Treat Stakes for 3-year-old fillies eligible to the Golden State Series at Del Mar.
Starlight Magic is by Marino Marini, out of the General Meeting mare Star’s Millennium, was bred by John and Diane Fradkin, is owned by Cory Wagner and is trained by Mark Glatt.
She has four wins in nine starts, earnings of $322,900 and was coming off a fifth in the June 23 American Oaks. She ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.57 and won by one-half length at odds of 3-1.
“The Torrey Pines ($100,000, Sunday, September 2) makes the most sense I think,” Glatt said of Starlight Magic’s next assignment. “We’ll see how it looks.
“I was really confident. In the Hollywood Oaks she ran back 16 days after (her previous start) and it was a tough race. Obviously it was an easier race today and she had five weeks between races. That seems to be the key for her.”
Warren’s Amber was second and favored Willa B Awesome third in the field of eight.
