Pair of undefeated stakes fillies for Magical World

It would be enough for a broodmare to have one undefeated stakes winner in training, but Magical World has two. The mare’s juvenile daughter Magic Dance could start in the Grade 2 Adirondack this Sunday at Saratoga, attempting to join older half-sister Guarana as a graded winner at the meeting. Both race as homebreds for Three Chimneys Farm.

Guarana, by Ghostzapper, has emerged as the nation’s leading 3-year-old filly by winning all three of her starts, including a pair of Grade 1 events. After defeating Kentucky Oaks winner Serengeti Empress in the Acorn Stakes, Guarana won the Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga. Meanwhile, Magic Dance, by More Than Ready, won her first two starts, including the Debutante Stakes at Churchill Downs.

The winning Magical World, by leading broodmare sire Distorted Humor, is out of Breeders’ Cup Distaff winner Pleasant Home, from a deep family that includes champion Sky Beauty and, more recently, Grade 1 winners Pine Island and Point of Entry. Magical World, who was privately acquired from the Phipps stable by Three Chimneys, is in foal to Horse of the Year Gun Runner.
