Endine

Puglisi Stables and Steve Klesaris' MIRACULOUS MISS (Mr. Greeley) made a

smashing return to the races when closing like a freight train to capture the

$200,900 Endine H. (G3) at Delaware by 1 1/2 lengths on Saturday. Breaking

slowly and sitting at the back for the opening half-mile, the Klesaris

pupil commenced her run as the field approached the turn for home and it was

over once she got into gear under Ramon Dominguez, passing horses as if they were standing still. The three-year-old completed the six panels over the fast track

in 1:09 4/5 and paid $6.60, $3.60 and $4.20 as the 2-1 second choice.

Gilded Gold (Gilded Time) spurted out of the gate and led to midstretch but

could not stop the winner late, ultimately settling for the place at 19-1. The

runner-up completed the healthy $106.60 exacta while paying $11.60 and $7.80.

Coli Bear (Formal Dinner), who was coupled with the winner, gained the show

another half-length back to return $6.60, $3.60 and $4.20. Thats Our Song (Thats

Our Buck) finished fourth and

completed the $615.60 trifecta (1-6-7) at 17-1. Ebony Breeze (Belong to Me) was

next and followed by Miss Elsie (Golden Gear), Hello Liberty (Forest Camp) and

Hot Storm (Stormy Atlantic). Annika Lass (Mister Jolie) was scratched.

Miraculous Miss was making her first start since April of this year, and

earned her sixth win from seven lifetime outings. The chestnut owns scores in the

Comely S. (G2), Forward Gal S. (G2) and Valley Stream S. (G3), sporting a career

line that reads 7-6-0-0, $417,120.

Bred in the Bluegrass State by Dr. Akijiro O'Hara, the winner fetched a bid

of $350,000 at the 2005 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale.

She is out of the winning Silver Deputy mare No Small Miracle and counts as

half-brothers multiple Grade 1-placed Tiger Heart (Scatmandu) and an

unnamed two-year-old colt by Royal Academy.
