Maximus Mischief at Spendthrift Farm
Maximus Mischief , a grade 2-winning son of Into Mischief , sired his first reported foal Jan. 9—a colt born in Reddick, Fla.
"This colt is very nice with a lot of size for a first foal. The mare is a maiden and rather plain, but the foal looks like (Maximus Mischief) who has certainly moved up the mare. I'm very excited," said breeder Angela Ingenito. "I see a lot of Into Mischief. He has a nice hip, a lot of bone, a good front end, and (a) good head and neck. It's a nice representation of the sire."
The colt is out of the Two Step Salsa mare Rosetta's Gift from the family of multiple stakes winners Roman Dancer and I'm All Yours.
Maximus Mischief was undefeated in three starts at 2 by a combined 17 lengths, punctuated by a decisive 2018 Remsen Stakes (G2) score. He earned two of the highest Beyer Speed Figures—98 and 97—recorded by 2-year-olds that year. These remain the fastest recorded by a juvenile by his champion sire, according to Spendthrift Farm.
The Butch Reid trainee raced once at 3, finishing third behind Harvey Wallbanger and Everfast in the Fasig-Tipton Holy Bull Stakes (G2) at Gulfstream Park.
After covering 196 mares from his first book at Spendthrift in 2020, Maximus Mischief will stand in 2021 for a $7,500 stands-and-nurses fee.
