Into Mischief Filly Whiskey Decision Sails Home In Christiana

[Wandering Eyes]

Hammered down to 1-5 to take her current winning streak to three and to remain perfect in two starts on the grass, Fred Hertrich and John Fielding's WHISKEY DECISION (f, 3, Into Mischief–Funny Song, by Distorted Humor) almost certainly punched her ticket into graded stakes competition with a thoroughly dominating victory in Monday's Christiana Stakes at Delaware Park. With Javier Castellano at the controls for the first time, the homebred was away alertly and took up a spot just off the flank of 100-1 chance Nay Slayer (Friesan Fire) for the first half of the nine-furlong test. Allowed to claim that one three furlongs out, Whiskey Decision did so easily, but was soon taken on by her chief market rival, the multiple Grade III-placed Style Points (Oscar Performance) approaching the stretch. The Cheyenne colorbearer appeared to have the momentum, but Whiskey Decision swatted the challenge away nearly as quickly as it came and stretched clear to the wire despite racing on her incorrect lead. Lifetime Record: 4-3-0-0. O/B-Fred Hertrich III & John D Fielding (KY); T-Arnaud Delacour.
