Mischievous Angel Goes Last-To-First To Graduate At Belmont

1st-Belmont, $90,000, Msw, 6-17, 3yo/up, 6fT, 1:08.74, fm, 3/4 length.
MISCHIEVOUS ANGEL (g, 3, Into Mischief–Sabrina's Angel, by Scat Daddy), the only first-time starter in the field and the 2-1 selection with a $600,000 purchase price, spotted the field a step at the break and had only a single rival behind him through a half mile in :45.26. He began to make up ground as the leaders hit the far turn and tipped out to be five wide with room to run at the top of the stretch. Pacesetter Beer Run (City of Light) gave way as Mischievous Angel closed strongly on the outside and prevailed by three-quarters of the length to graduate on debut. Sabrina's Angel, herself a half-sister to GI Xpressbet Florida Derby winner Audible (Into Mischief), is still to be represented by a 2-year-old Curlin filly and a yearling filly by Practical Joke. Sales History: $600,000 Ylg '21 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
