Gas Station Sushi Puts Unbeaten Tag On Line in Eight Belles


Recommended Posts

Gas Station Sushi (Into Mischief) has made the most of her two trips to the post, winning her debut at Del Mar last August before resurfacing to win the Apr. 8 GIII Beaumont S. at Keeneland. She will look to take the next step in her racing career while facing six rivals in the seven-furlong GII Eight Belles S. at Churchill Downs Friday.

Amy’s Challenge (Artie Schiller) opened her sophomore campaign with a win in the six-furlong Dixie Belle S. at Oaklawn Park Jan. 20, but faltered when stretched to 1 1/16 miles in her next two starts. She was loose on the lead before finishing second to Cosmic Burst (Violence) in the Mar. 10 GIII Honeybee S. and again before finishing third behind GI Kentucky Oaks contenders Sassy Sienna (Midshipman) and Wonder Gadot (Medaglia d’Oro) in the Apr. 13 GIII Fantasy S. The speedy filly should appreciate the cut back in distance Friday.

The consistent Mia Mischief (Into Mischief), first or second in all previous six trips to the post, will look to tackle graded stakes company for the first time in her career. Beaten just a neck by Amy’s Challenge when second in the Dixie Belle, she aired by 8 1/4 lengths in her most recent outing, the Mar. 24 Purple Martin S. at Oaklawn. She bested the reopposing Salt Bae (Paynter) and Criminal Mischief (Into Mischief) in that six-furlong affair.
