Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 4, 2018 ‘TDN Rising Star’ Mia Mischief (f, 3, Into Mischief–Greer Lynn, by Speightstown) made the step up to graded stakes with aplomb Friday, going wire-to-wire to win the GII Eight Belles S. at Churchill Downs. Sent off the 3-2 favorite, the bay filly went quickly to the lead and battled through fractions of :22.21 and :44.21. She grabbed the lead approaching the stretch, with Talk Veuve to Me (Violence) her main challenger. Mia Mischief grittily held off that foe down the lane to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Mia Mischief, who earned her Rising Star status with a 16 1/4-length romp at Keeneland last October, missed by just a neck when second to Amy’s Challenge (Artie Schiller) after setting the pace in her sophomore debut in the Jan. 20 Dixie Belle S. She came from just off the pace to score by 8 1/4 lengths in the Mar. 24 Purple Martin S. at Oaklawn last time out. Mia Mischief, a $135,000 KEESEP graduate, was purchased by the Heiligbrodts for $300,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale last year. The Heider Family Stables and Madaket Stables joined the ownership group after her Purple Martin win. Lifetime Record: 7-4-3-0, $340,800.
