TRICKY TEMPER (f, 2, Into Mischief–Winter Book {MSW, $148,299}, by Any Given Saturday) went off as the 6-5 favorite in this off-the-turf debut that saw half of the field scratch following heavy rains earlier in the week. The bay rated to the outside up the backstretch, three off the lead. Tricky Temper was still in chase mode around the far turn, but at the top of the lane, she flashed her speed down the center of the track to win by 4 3/4 lengths over My Kinda Mischief (Maximus Mischief). The winner's dam, who is a half-sister to GSW Motor City (Street Sense), produced a yearling filly by Gift Box and she visited Yaupon for next year.
