The stellar weekend for Spendthrift Farm stalwart Into Mischief continued with a new stakes winner in Monmouth's Sorority S. Monday.
Unveiled against New York-breds sprinting at Saratoga, Mischievous Dream closed to win by a length July 19, but could only manage fourth after a wide trip over course and distance in the Bolton Landing S. there Aug. 19. Stepped up to a mile for the first time, the third choice sidled over to the rail and settled in midpack in the full field behind splits of :23.20 and :48.37. Catching all the breaks, she began to make inroads with a quarter mile to travel and was just off the first flight and building momentum when a hole close directly in front of her. Forced to check sharply, jockey Joe Bravo angled her farther out asked her to re-engage the afterburners and she dove in between rivals to win as much the best, showing a sharp burst of acceleration in the process.
“I thought she was very impressive,” said trainer Christophe Clement. “She scared me at the eighth pole [when Bravo had to check severely]. I didn't know she was good enough to overcome that and make it to the wire first. But I guess she is.”
“We always thought she was a nice filly. She broke her maiden impressively and we saw that she was better than she had done in her last start. She was training very well at Saratoga. That's why we were trying to be a bit more ambitious with her and it worked out today.”
The 78th black-type winner for her sire, who sired 2020 GI Kentucky Derby hero Authentic Saturday, Mischievous Dream is second winner from five runners for her dual-winning dam. Just Livin a Dream foaled a filly by Practical Joke this year and was bred back to Disco Partner. The winner is a half-sister to the Leroidesanimaux (Brz) gelding Keepthedreamalive, who was SP. Second dam Princesa's Passion is the dam of MGISW Presious Passion (Royal Anthem), known for his frontrunning tactics, good for two wins in one of Monmouth's signature races, the GI United Nations S.
