+PRACTICAL JOKE (c, 2, Into Mischief–Halo Humor {SP}, by Distorted Humor), a $240,000 KEESEP yearling buy for Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence, made a good-looking impression first out at Saratoga, drawing away late to a convincing victory. Bet late to 12-5 favoritism, the bay broke sharply before settling in fourth early on under Irad Ortiz, Jr. Dropping back three spots while still staying in touch into the bend, he moved up three wide on the turn, drifted to the five path at the top of the lane and came with a menacing run nearing the eighth pole. He then blew by tiring frontrunner Northern (Adios Charlie) just inside the furlong grounds and drew off late to a strong five-length score. The pacesetter held on for second.
