PRETTY MISCHIEVOUS (f, 2, Into Mischief–Pretty City Dancer {GISW, $286,344}, by Tapit) was named a 'TDN Rising Star' off a 2 1/4-length winning performance on debut when sprinting 6 1/2 furlongs over this same track Sept. 18. Hammered into 1-5 favoritism for her first try against winners, Pretty Mischievous settled into a stalking position from fourth behind pacesetter Bluelightspecial (Super Saver). Given her head with three furlongs to run, she struck the front at the top of the stretch and edged clear gradually despite swapping back to her left lead and drifting in close to home. Bluelightspecial held on for second but was 1 3/4 lengths behind at the wire. Pretty City Dancer, herself a half-sister to GISW & MGISP Lear's Princess (Lear Fan) from the family of GISW & MGISP My Big Boy (Our Hero), produced a weanling filly by Medaglia d'Oro before visiting Street Sense for the 2023 season.
