Into Mischief Filly Lives Up to Her Name in Churchill Debut

2nd-Churchill Downs, $99,290, Msw, 9-4, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:10.79, ft.
SALTY AS CAN BE (f, 2, Into Mischief–Theycallmeladyluck {SP}, by Dixie Union), a half-sister to 2018 GI La Troienne S. winner Salty (Quality Road), GISW, $688,500, was purchased by Team Casse for $850,000 out of last year’s FTSAUG sale from the Baccari Bloodstock consignment, but her worktab yielded few clues and she was no better than 11-1 despite her impeccable pedigree. Settled in about fifth spot early and punching the breeze three wide, Salty As Can Be rolled up to make a line of three at the quarter pole outside of fellow first-timer Amusing Antics (Super Saver) and pacesetting Quick Munny (Munnings). Amusing Antics came in soon after, bothering the front-runner, but Salty As Can Be would not let her out of her sights and grabbed Amusing Antics on the wire. Lady Traveler (Quality Road) sat a mid-pack trip and finished with good energy to be third. A maternal granddaughter of GSW Vegas Prospector (Crafty Prospector), Salty As Can Be has a yearling half-sister by Medaglia d’Oro. Theycallmeladyluck was covered by Quality Road this year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,144. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.

Arc Crowd Limited To 5,000

A maximum of 5,000 people will be permitted on course at ParisLongchamp for the Oct. 4 G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, France Galop announced on Friday. Paris is once again considered a red zone for coronavirus and an exemption for a larger crowd could not be made. The same restrictions will apply to ParisLongchamp’s Oct. 3 card.

Access to the racecourse will be restricted to horsepeople (including some owners and breeders) and those required to put on the event.

A statement from France Galop read in part, “France Galop deeply regrets not being able to welcome the general public for the 2020 edition of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, which promises another exciting renewal. All tickets and two-day passes already purchased for that weekend will be carried forward automatically to the 2021 edition. On request, tickets and two-day passes will be refunded.”

Goffs Champions Sale Moved Back

The Goffs Champions Sale, which typically takes place in the Leopardstown parade ring prior to the start of Irish Champions Weekend but will this year be online, has been moved back with bidding now to run from Sept. 16 to 18. The decision was taken because recent heavy ground conditions at Irish meetings have affected the number of suitable sale candidates.

Nick Nugent of Goffs said, “An advantage of an online sale is its flexibility to move and adapt in order to maximise opportunities for everybody. Recent ground conditions have not been helpful but, with plenty of high-class racing in the next week and hopefully better going, the hope is that more suitable candidates will emerge.”

“On behalf of the ROA and the Horsemen’s Group, we welcome the announcement today from the British EBF that they will be supporting the revised fixture list from September to December this year with a contribution to prize money which will exceed £750,000,” said Racehorse Owners’ Association President Charlie Parker. “We have seen significant downward pressure on prize money since resumption so the work that the British EBF has done and today’s announcement is very good news for all horsemen.”
