Daring Do (Into Mischief) broke her maiden in early March at Turfway Park in her second career race and then switched to Keeneland's turf where she won by a head to clear the next condition.
Last seen running third by a length behind stablemate Kaufymaker (Jimmy Creed) against optional claimers May 28 at Churchill Downs, the 15-8 second choice here dropped back to settle into fourth up the backstretch. Chasing the pace set by favorite American Apple (American Pharoah) around the far turn, the bay filly hugged the fence, tipped to the three path before the eighth pole and ran on nicely to win by a length over the late running Twice as Sweet (Candy Ride {Arg}).
Out of an extended female family which includes GISW Cat Moves (Tale of the Cay), the winner's dam is a half-sister to both GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf hero Hootenanny (Quality Road) and his full-sister GSP Ryder Ryder Ryder. Daring Do is her dam's first to the make the races, but she does have an unraced 2-year-old half-sister named Letmenowhenurready (Quality Road) and a yearling half-brother. Her dam foaled a filly Apr. 7 by Not This Time.
