Pretty Mischievous (foaled March 30, 2020) is a Champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who in 2023 won the Grade I Kentucky Oaks and Test Stakes.[2]

Background

[edit]

Pretty Mischievous is a bay filly who was bred and is owned by Godolphin in Kentucky. Pretty Mischievous is out of the Tapit mare Pretty City Dancer, dead-heat winner of the 2016 Grade I Spinaway Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. Michael Banahan, director of bloodstock for Godolphin in the USA noted that Godolphin had a pairing with Into Mischief in mind in going to US$3.5 million to purchase her at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November Sale, where she was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. Stroud Coleman Bloodstock signed the ticket.[3]

Pretty Mischievous's sire Into Mischief, stands at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky for $250,000 (2023).[3]

Pretty Mischievous is trained by the Irish-born trainer Brendan P. Walsh.[3]

After a successful three-year-old campaign Pretty Mischievous was awarded Eclipse Award as the U.S. Champion Three-Year-Old Filly for 2023.[4]

Notes:
An (*) asterisk after the odds means Pretty Mischievous was the post-time favourite.

  1. ^ The final time of the Test Stakes was under review by Equibase after Maple Leaf Mel, who on the lead suffered a fatal injury near the end of the race and the electronic timing beam was tripped before Pretty Mischievous crossed the finish line.[13]
