Description:
Come to Mischief was ultra-impressive in her career debut June 28 at Woodbine, making all the pace to win the $125,000 My Dear Stakes by six widening lengths as the longest shot in the field.
Ridden by Tyler Pizarro, the a Kentucky-bred daughter of Into Mischief , blasted from the gate in the five-furlong open stakes and was never threatened en route to the authoritative win at 18-1 odds. She was timed in :57.19 over the Polytrack.
Avisionofchocolate was second, and Conquest Soprano was third, another three lengths back, while favored Maymont, making her debut as well, wound up a distant sixth.
Breaking from the rail, Come to Mischief clocked an opening quarter in :22.14, then got to the half in a blazing :44.84.
Trained by Nick Gonzalez for his wife, Martha, and Horse'n Around Racing Stable, Come to Mischief was an $11,000 Keeneland yearling purchase from breeders Jim and Pam Robinson's Brandywine Farm. She more than paid that back while earning $75,000 for the win.
"I didn't really know much about her," Pizarro said. "Martha just said she's pretty quick in the mornings, so I just tried to keep her calm and cool on post parade. I gave her a good warm-up. She broke sharply. There was a little commotion on the outside of us, which kind of gave me the lead. It's been a speed-favoring track all day, so she just carried on. She's a very nice filly."
Come to Mischief ($39.40) is out of the winning Proud Citizen mare One Act Play.
