Honest Mischief’s Sacrosanct Easy Debut Winner at the Spa

[Wandering Eyes]

2nd-Saratoga, $90,000, (S), Msw, 8-21, 2yo, 6f, 1:11.65, ft, 3 1/4 lengths.
SACROSANCT (c, 2, Honest Mischief–Vibrato, by Unbridled's Song), the 8-5 favorite, strode home an easy 3 1/4-length victor of his debut at Saratoga Wednesday, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Into Mischief). The bay colt rushed up to press the pace down the backstretch through an opening quarter in :22.58. He took over approaching the stretch as the half went up in :46.12 and was well in control despite drifting slightly down the lane. Skytown (Echo Town) chased him home in second and Bold Fortune (Central Banker) was third.
Sacrosanct was a $260,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale. He has a yearling half-brother by Instagrand and a weanling full-brother. The unraced Vibrato, purchased by Sims/Thomas/Burleson as a 3-year-old for $70,000 at the 2016 Keeneland November sale, was bred back to Honest Mischief this year. She is a daughter of multiple stakes winner Cuff Me (Officer).
Honest Mischief stands at Sequel Stallions for $6,500. A Juddmonte-bred stakes-winning son of Honest Lady (Seattle Slew), he was third in the 2019 GII Amsterdam Stakes. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500.
