Pretty Mischievous in Good Order After Test Score

Godolphin's Pretty Mischievous (Into Mischief), who crossed the wire first in Saturday's GI Test S., has exited her race well, trainer Brendan Walsh confirmed Sunday.

The filly won the GI Kentucky Oaks and GI Acorn S. earlier this spring.

“She's fine, she ate up good and has been eating peppermints all morning here, hanging over the door,” Walsh said. “She ran well [Saturday], but it was just a little sharp for her, though she beat some very good fillies. The filly that broke down was the best of the day, but we're proud of the effort ours gave. That's her putting in her A-effort, like she always does. She always leaves it all out there and we can't ask for more than that. I didn't realize how much she really did close. It just goes to show how good a filly she is to give as good an effort as she did.”

Walsh said he did not have any immediate plans for Pretty Mischievous, but noted it was likely to include a step up in distance.

“We'll probably go back to the two turns after that. We're not really leaning anywhere yet, as far as her next race,” Walsh said. “I would say two turns is definite and the [Sept. 23 GI] Cotillion [S.] would be the one that you would think would be the place to go–but I haven't discussed with the team, so nothing has been decided. She's won three Grade Is–or two and a half–and a GII [Rachel Alexandra S.]. There's no one else who's done that.”
