Godolphin Into Mischief Homebred Rolls to Rising Star Honors

[Wandering Eyes]

Sent off at odds of 2-1 despite a potentially tricky draw in gate 12, Godolphin's PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS (f, 2, Into Mischief–Pretty City Dancer, by Tapit) did it toughest of all, but was there for Tyler Gaffalione when push came to shove and went on to prevail by two deceptively easy lengths to become yet another 'TDN Rising Star' for her boom sire. Away without incident from the wide outside, the homebred raced four wide in the breeze just off a trio of pacesetters up ahead of her. Cruising along in hand as they raced around the turn, Pretty Mischievous breezed up to her rivals to make a line of four at the head of the stretch, showed some agility to open up when asked approaching the final furlong and was not fully extended to take it by a comfortable two-length margin. Pretty Mischievous is the second foal to the races from her dam, who shared the spoils with her sire's daughter Sweet Loretta in the 2016 GI Spinaway S. at Saratoga. A half-sister to GISW Lear's Princess (Lear Fan)–who would have been fancied to take down the colors of Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro) in the 2007 GI Kentucky Oaks only to be scratched from the race the race–Pretty City Dancer was acquired by Stroud Coleman Bloodstock on behalf of Godolphin for $3.5 million in foal to Medaglia d'Oro at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton November Sale. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O/B-Godolphin (KY); T-Brendan Walsh.
