LNJ Foxwoods’ Covfefe (Into Mischief), who made 1-2 look like a gift when decimating a field of Churchill maidens by 9 1/4 lengths on debut Sept. 16, could jump right into stakes competition for her next start, trainer Brad Cox told the Churchill notes team Thursday.

“That was about as impressive as you can get with a first time starter,” Cox said. “We’ve thought very highly of her all along and she showed she’s the real deal.”

In stopping the clock in a sharp 1:10.20 for the six-furlong distance, Covfefe, a $250,000 purchase at Keeneland last September, was assigned a towering 86 Beyer Speed Figure. By comparison, Serengeti Express (Alternation) earned a 78 Beyer for her 19 1/2-length demolition of 10 rivals in the 1 1/16-mile GII Pocahontas S. the previous afternoon.

A half-sister to Japanese MGSW & G1SP Albiano (Harlan’s Holiday), Covfefe is out of a half-sister to GISWs Acoma (Empire Maker) and Arch (Kris S.) and counts champion Althea (Alydar) as her third dam.

Future stakes possibilities for Covfefe include the one-mile $95,000 Rags to Riches S. or the $300,000 Spendthrift Juvenile Stallion S., restricted to 2-year-old progeny of Spendthrift stallions. Both events are carded for opening day of the fall meeting Sunday, Oct. 28.
