Getting in a final workout before she takes on Grade 1
company Saturday at Parx, Mystic Lake turned in a maintenance breeze Tuesday at
Saratoga.

The filly sired by Mo Town, owned by C2 Racing Stable and Stefania
Farms was clocked going a half-mile in 53.0 seconds. It was her second timed
work for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. since she won the Charles Town Oaks (G2) on
Aug. 23.

Mystic Lake will be shipped to Pennsylvania to race this
weekend in the $1 million Cotillion Stakes, where she and seven other
3-year-old fillies will try to upset heavy favorite and consensus division
leader Thorpedo Anna in the 1 1/16-mile race.
