Rumor defeated Great Hot by a half-length to win the $100,000 L.A. Woman Stakes on Sunday at Santa Anita.
Ridden by Mike Smith, Rumor ran 6-1/2 furlongs in 1 minute, 17.47 seconds. A $2 win bet returned $7.20.
Lady of Fifty was third, a length behind runner-up Great Hot. Winding Way, the 3-5 favorite, finished last, beaten 7-3/4 lengths. There was no show wagering because of the four-horse field.
Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella said he would consider Rumor for the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint next month at Santa Anita.
