Dark Mirage
Dark Mirage was an American Hall of Fame Champion Thoroughbred racehorse.
Racing career
Dark Mirage was 15.1 hands high. In her 1967 campaign as a two-year-old, she had two minor wins in fifteen starts. As a three-year-old, she lost her first race, then became the first winner of the Filly Triple Crown, capturing all three races with ease. Her handlers decided to rest her for the remainder of the racing season. Dark Mirage's performance earned her the American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honor.At age four, Dark Mirage raced only two times. She won her first race but, in the next, severely injured a fetlock joint. This injury ended her racing career and resulted in her death a few months later.
