Mischievous Dream splits horses to take Sorority Stakes

Mischievous Dream became a stakes winner Monday at Monmouth Park, when she shuttled through an opening between horses in the stretch to secure a half-length victory over Invincible Gal in the $100,000 Sorority. It was another half-length back in third to Tic Tic Tic Boom.

The Sorority was a mile turf race for 2-year-old fillies.

Mischievous Dream ($9.40) settled off the pace as Unrequited Love set fractions of 23.20 for the opening quarter, 48.37 for the half-mile and 1:13.22 for six furlongs. Mischievous Dream waited for room in the stretch and surged clear when the opportunity arose, covering the distance on firm turf in 1:38.98.

Joe Bravo was aboard for trainer Christophe Clement.
