East Rutherford, NJ [October 9, 2008] Private Miracle seized command from the dueling leaders at the top of the stretch and held on to win the $50,00 allowance for three-year-old fillies and mares Thursday night at the Meadowlands.

Trained by Alan S. Seewald, Private Miracle is perfect in two career starts. With Jose Velez Jr. in the saddle, Private Miracle paid $4.40 to win the night's sixth race in 1:11.14. It was a photo for the place spot, with Billy We Got You nosing out a very game Aly Blair in third.

Private Miracle, a bay filly out of Polish Miner-Private Smile, now has career earnings of more than $77,000. The New Jersey-bred is owned by John C. Sessa.
