EXPENSIVE SPEIGHTSTOWN DEBUTS AT DELAWARE

2nd-DEL, $34K, Msw, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:45p.m.

Trainer Arnaud Delacour went to $585,000 on behalf of Roy and Gretchen Jackson’s Lael Stables to acquire JEOPARDY JAMES (Speightstown) at the OBS April Sales after he breezed in a sharp :9 4/5 and he makes his debut at Delaware Thursday. The bay is a full-brother to Grade I winner Lighthouse Bay, who summoned $1.2 million carrying a foal by Tapit at the 2014 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Red Oak Stable homebred Wild Little Fella (Girolamo) also makes his debut in this test. He is out of stakes winners Ima Jersey Girl (Lightnin N Thunder), who is a half-sister to MSW King For A Day (Uncle Mo) and a full-sister to the stakes winner Feel That Fire, who produced GISW Mind Control (Stay Thirsty).

RISKY RACHEL (Into Mischief) hails from a line of hard-knocking New York-breds and she makes her first trip to the post at Saratoga Thursday. The $350,000 SARAUG buy is a daughter of six-time stakes winner and fellow Empire-bred Risky Rachel (Limehouse), whose first foal, a now-3-year-old colt named Yale (Scat Daddy), summoned $1 million from the Coolmore contingent at last term’s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale. The bay’s second dam is GSW Dancin Renee (Distinctive Pro), a half-sister to MGSW millionaire Say Florida Sandy (Personal Flag), who has a NY-bred stakes race named in her honor. Risky Mischief enters off a bullet half-mile over Saratoga’s Oklahoma training track in :49 flat (1/9) July 18 and her two prior works match those of the stable’s undefeated My Italian Rabbi (Competitive Edge), who captured the Stillwater S.
