ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) Dreamologist won the $100,000 Las Cienegas Stakes by 1 3/4 lengths Sunday on closing day at Santa Anita after the race was moved from turf to the dirt track after major rain the last two days.
Ridden by Flavien Prat, Dreamologist ran 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.56 and paid $3.40, $2.60 and $2.20 as the 3-5 favorite in the field of seven fillies and mares.
Off the Road returned $7.60 and $4.40, while Fanticola was another nose back in third and paid $3 to show.
The victory, worth $60,000, increased Dreamologist's career earnings to $203,710, with four wins in eight starts. It was the 4-year-old filly's first stakes victory. The race was originally listed as a Grade 3, but its status is under review after change in surface.
''She looked comfortable, looked good,'' trainer Richard Mandella said. ''We entered for dirt only. She's done so well on the dirt, we wanted to take a shot at it. This is a nice way to finish the meet.''
