Contender Status

Trainer John Sadler was considering several options for Tasha's Miracle after her authoritative 3 1/4-length victory over Set Play in the Sorrento Stakes (G3) on August 8 at Del Mar.

Topping the list was the Del Mar Debutante (G1) on September 3, but on September 1 Tasha's Miracle tied up with stomach cramps, forcing Sadler to rethink his plans.

The filly was back on the work tab by September 9 and Sadler sent her back to the races for the Oak Leaf Stakes (G1) on September 29 at Oak Tree at Santa Anita.

While a fifth place finish was certainly not the outcome Sadler hoped for, she was only beaten 3 3/4-lengths after a layoff of nearly two months.

The 1 1/16-mile Oak Leaf was also the first try beyond 6 1.2-furlongs for Tasha's Miracle, and Sadler knew he needed some kind of distance race if he was going to get the filly to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).

With that mission accomplished, Tasha's Miracle is certainly eligible to improve at the right time.
