WONDER WHEEL (f, 2, Into Mischief–Wonder Gal {MSW & MGISP, $904,800}, by Tiz Wonderful) was sent off the narrow 2-1 second choice in this unveiling but put in a gutsy, professional performance to graduate. Not the fastest off the break, Wonder Wheel tracked from fifth and quickly made up ground coming through the turn, her march carrying her four wide into the stretch. Second at the head of the lane, the $275,000 KEESEP grad confronted a stubborn 24-1 longshot in Black Forest (Frosted), but got the better of that one by the final sixteenth. There were 2 1/4 lengths between them on the wire. Wonder Wheel is the second foal and winner for her multiple Grade I-placed dam. Older half-sibling Road Bible (Pioneerof the Nile) was a $610,000 purchase from KEESEP 2019 by Steve Asmussen. Wonder Wheel's 2021 full-sibling was born dead and their dam was barren after visiting Constitution for this season. This is the family of GISW and millionaire Force the Pass (Speightstown) through graded-stakes runner turned graded-stakes producer Gal on the Go (Irgun) and MGSW Social Queen (Dynaformer). Sales history: $275,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $69,460. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
