Mirai backed up a well-bet first-out victory at Saratoga with a workmanlike victory in the New York-bred Bertram F. Bongard S. Bet down to a nickel above 3-5 in his Aug. 18 debut, the $280,000 OBS March buy ran to the money with a 3 1/2-length tally. Crushed at the windows again in this five-horse group, the chestnut came away well and sat a close third past a :22.81 quarter. Moving to the lead midway on the turn, Mirai was briefly challenged by Calculated Risker (Into Mischief) after a :45.93 half-mile, but he soon disposed of that foe and did enough to remain clear in the stretch for the score over Pat on the Back and Haul Anchor, who dead-heated for second. The winner's dam is a full-sister to SW/GISP Forever Partners. She has a yearling filly by Overanalyze and foaled a Cairo Prince filly this term before being bred back to Super Saver.
