Into Mischief Colt Closes Out Derby Card With Rising Star-Worthy Performance

[Wandering Eyes]

The Brad Cox barn was perhaps a bit quieter than usual for most of Saturday's GI Kentucky Derby card, but it unveiled one in the finale who could very well play a role in major races later this season. Backed down to 8-5 favoritism off of sharp-looking works, Godolphin homebred STROBE (c, 3, Into Mischief–Flashing, by A.P. Indy) zoomed out of the gate from his high draw and quickly cleared. He zipped along through strong splits of :21.73 and :45.34, and never looked back to run up the score to about five lengths in a snappy 1:08.71. Frequent runner-up Bourbon Heist (Practical Joke) completed his sixth career exacta. The winner”s dam took the 2009 GI Test S. and GI Gazelle S. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
