Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 23 Journalists Posted August 23 The Saturday opener featured two of the sexier pedigrees in the 2025 crop of 2-year-olds in the form of Provenance (Into Mischief), the first foal to the races out of champion Monomoy Girl (Tapizar), and Plutarch (Into Mischief), a son of Eclipse Award winner Stellar Wind (Curlin). But in the end, it was INTREPIDO (c, 2, Maximus Mischief–Overly Indulgent, by Pleasantly Perfect) who stole the show, repelling a wide bid from 3-5 Provenance and shooting clear to score by four impressive lengths, earning a 'TDN Rising Star'. The clear second choice in the wagering at 12-5 off a debut fourth behind 'Rising Star' Brant (Gun Runner) and the third-placed Balboa (Not This Time), named a 'Rising Star' himself for an open-lengths score at second asking, Intrepido hit the ground running and led through the early exchanges, but relaxed kindly enough inside of Biggiebiggiebiggie (Maclean's Music) while holding his spot at the rail through a half in :47.34. Provenance, off slowly and then consigned to a very wide trip thereafter, came with a sweeping run on the second turn to loom a brief threat, but his exertions finally took their toll and Intrepido strode home to win easily in the very strong time of 1:35.71 for the mile. Plutarch caboosed the field down the back, but found his best stride in the lane and outfinished Provenance to round out the exacta. Sales history: $30,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP; $385,000 2yo '25 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0.
