Into Mischief
Mr. Money has proven more or less unbeatable since a breakout romp in the GIII Pat Day Mile on GI Kentucky Derby Day May 4, and the progressive colt strung together his fourth consecutive win Saturday while becoming a millionaire. Breaking well from a high draw, the heavy favorite locked on to Plus Que Parfait early and traveled under stout restraint through opening splits of :24.42 and :49.10. He poked a head in front turning for home, and was clearly going much better than his rivals as he hit the...

Risky Mischief (Into Mischief) lost an opportunity when her would-be debut was one of the casualties of torrential rains that forced the cancellation of racing at Saratoga following race four July 25.

Drawn pole position, the March foal only beat one out of the stalls, but quickly mustered for speed up the fence to...

The more-fancied member of a 3-5 entry, Shoplifted (Into Mischief) came from off the pace to win in impressive style, earning 'TDN Rising Star' status in the process at Saratoga Saturday afternoon. Favored along with the Todd Pletcher-trained Soviet (Super Saver), Shoplifted broke sharply and settled in the second flight, several lengths behind the leading duo of 7-2 chance Kowalski (Will Take Charge) and Always Misbehaving (Into Mischief) as they raced through an initial quarter in :22.18. Starting to take closer order as the pair carved out a half in...
