8th-Fair Grounds, $52,000, Msw, 3-13, 3yo, 6f, 1:10.20, ft, 1 length.
ANCIENT WORLD (g, 3, Into Mischief–Thirteen Arrows {MSW, $277,375}, by Indian Charlie) had a pair of bullets on his worktab, including a flashy, four-furlong move from the gate in :46 4/5 (1/113) Feb. 9, and was off as the even-money favorite in this debut run. He missed the break beneath Jose Ortiz and trailed the field of eight as Sargent Sully (Instagrand), a well-beaten fifth on debut in New Orleans Jan. 20, flew through an opening quarter in :21.63. Still with plenty to do approaching the quarter pole, Ancient World began to wind up as they turned for home and came rolling down the stretch to inhale the pacesetter late and win by a well-timed length. Thirteen Arrows, a daughter of MGISW Stop Traffic (Cure the Blues), had a filly by Life Is Good last year and was bred back to Cody's Wish. The Into Mischief x Indian Charlie cross has also produced GISW Dayoutoftheoffice. Sales history: $525,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,200.
