NEW YORK (AP) -Shine Upon stretched her unbeaten streak to three, holding off Speightful Affair by a nose Thursday to win the $60,000 Dreamy Mimi Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Aqueduct.

In the blanket finish, Anchorage got third - only a neck behind the top two.

It was the first tight finish for Shine Upon following wins by 4 and 6 1/2 lengths, both at Aqueduct. She gained a slim lead on the final turn and battled to the wire to secure the victory. The time was 1:42.99 for the one mile, 70 yards on the fast track.

David Cohen was aboard for trainer Mike Hushion as Shine Upon paid $4.90, $3.40 and $2.50 as the 7-5 favorite. Speightful Affair returned $3 and $2.40 while Anchorage paid $2.50 to show.
