Mythical (St Patrick's Day) outclassed four overmatched rivals in Saturday's Sophomore Fillies Sprint to earn her sixth career stakes success and a return trip to Saratoga.Pinballed around between rivals at the break, the Cohen homebred elected to sit off dueling pacesetters from third through the opening half-mile. Cruising up to the leaders in hand on the turn, Mythical poked her head in front at the five-sixteenths marker, raced well off the rail in the stretch and proved a much-the-best winner.Mythical won five of her six starts at two, including Saratoga's GIII Schuylerville Stakes before suffering her lone defeat of the season in the GI Spinaway Stakes. Back to winning ways in the final two legs of the Florida Stallion Stakes in the fall, the bay was a slow-starting fifth in the GIII Forward Gal Stakes Jan. 31, but bounced back in the Mar. 14 Any Limit Stakes, earning a career-best 94 Beyer.“I think she's one of the best fillies in the country, and she's getting better too,” said winning trainer Jorge Delgado. “We're probably going to Saratoga, she's won two stakes at Saratoga.”The conditioner has Mythical penciled in for the $175,000 Jersey Girl Stakes at the Spa on June 4.Lailoni, a daughter of the Grade III-winning New York-bred sprinter Dat You Miz Blue, was sold for the upset price of $1,000 at OBS January in 2024 and foaled a Noble Bird colt that RNAd for $12,000 at OBSJAN in 2025, but sold for $120,000 at this year's OBS March Sale.Lailoni, by Arindel's Brethren, is also the dam of the yearling filly Sonny's Iris (Colonelsdarktemper) and was purchased by Summer Wind Farm for $200,000 at last year's Keeneland November Sale. The mare produced a Coal Front filly this season. Summer Wind also bred Mythical's sire, a full-brother to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah.
