Mythical wins the Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga Race Course

The middle legs of the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association Florida Sire Stakes series continue Oct. 18 at Gulfstream Park without the winners of the first legs—Lennilu  and Fourth and Central —but with two dozen other juveniles.

Thirteen fillies, one of them an also-eligible, are entered in the filly division, the Florida Sire Susan's Girl Stakes, and 11 males will compete in the Florida Sire Affirmed Stakes. Both races are worth $200,000 and are at 7 furlongs on the main track.

The Susan's Girl is headed by Arindel's homebred Mythical , a graded stakes winner who has been victorious in three of four starts. She was successful on debut at Gulfstream Park before taking the Tremont Stakes and the Adirondack Stakes (G3) at Saratoga Race Course for trainer Jorge Delgado. The St Patrick's Day  filly will look to bounce back from a fifth-place finish in the Aug. 30 Spinaway Stakes (G1) when a taxing early speed duel left her fatigued. 

Finding Strength  and Love Like Lucy —2-3 in the Florida Sire Desert Vixen Stakes—head the opposition.
