Jockey Flavien Prat rode the ninth graded-stakes win in the U.S. this year for trainer Charlie Appleby. The daughter of Kodiac fared better Saturday than she did last month when she finished third against older males in the Jaipur (G1) over the same course and distance.

Star of Mystery (3-5) finished with a time of 1:00.97 on the firm turf after chasing early fractions of 21.16 and 43.90 set by pacesetter No Nay Mets (6-1). She paid $3.30, $2.50 and $2.10.

Mansa Musa (7-1) took second and returned $4.20 and $2.80. Fandom (7-2) was third and paid $2.50 to show. American Rascal (14-1) came in fourth.
