Dark Mirage

First winner of the filly triple crown. She was a tiny horse, more of a large pony with a huge heart and a sad ending. She deserves better recognition

buckpasser · I saw her race. Her dam Home By Dark was blind. Her sire Persian Road had some decent bloodlines. She was sold for $5,000 and people laughed when she came into the sales ring. · 26 days ago ·

buckpasser · Footlick. She is my personal favorite. Do you know that I could not put her on my top horses list at HRN as she was not on their list of horses. A real travesty. · 26 days ago ·

footlick · on other sites, when people asked who was a greater 3 yr old filly than Rachel, I said Dark Mirage. She was inv=comparable at 3 and what a race to open her season a 4, only to break down in a workout preparing for her next race. She was such an amazing animal. · 26 days ago ·

larooski · she broke down in a race. The Santa Margarita I think. She was roughed up at the start, then bolted on the first turn and broke down. I don't think she was put down until months later kind of like Barbaro. · 25 days ago ·
