5th-Keeneland, $97,558, Msw, 4-18, 3yo, f, 1 1/16mT, 1:41.50, fm, 1 length.
WAVES OF MISCHIEF (f, 3, Into Mischief–Pearl River, by Quality Road), off as the 5-2 choice for this debut here, settled along the rail in the third position while the pace was made by Beyond Lucky (Nyquist). As the field began to bear down on the leader around the far turn, the filly–bred in part by Marty Wygod who passed away last week at the age of 84–launched her bid by tipping to the two path at the eighth pole. The 3-year-old fired on all cylinders, secured the front and outlasted by a length fellow first timer Deep Satin (American Pharoah). Unraced Pearl River, who passed away last year, is responsible for a 2-year-old colt by Not This Time and a yearling colt by Nyquist. The winner's unraced second dam is a full-sister to both champion 2-year-old filly Sweet Catomine (Storm Cat) and MGISW Life Is Sweet. Sales History: $575,000 2yo '23 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $57,350. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
