Filly on a Mission: Daughter of Into Mischief Garners Rising Stardom for Baffert

Baoma Corporation’s $750,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga buy Private Mission (Into Mischief) led home a one-two finish of promising fillies for the Bob Baffert barn Sunday to earn the ‘TDN Rising Star’ distinction. Backed as the even-money choice off a series of works that had churned up some buzz (click for XBTV video of Oct. 5 breeze in company with $1.3-million colt American Admiral {American Pharoah}), the bay showed good early speed to sit in second locked on to the pacesetter. She took over after a :45.23 half, and only stablemate Frosteria (Frosted–Hystericalady) could come close to keeping up with her at that point. Private Mission had more to give, however, and cruised home a geared-down 1 3/4-length winner. Frosteria was 6 3/4 lengths clear of the third finisher.

Dam Private Gift, who was a two-turn stakes winner, was a $2.3-million purchase by Greg Goodman’s Mt. Brilliant while in foal to A.P. Indy at the 2008 Fasig-Tipton November sale. In addition to Secret Someone (A. P. Indy), MSW & GSP, $409,301, she is responsible for the dam of last year’s GI Alabama S. heroine Dunbar Road (Quality Road). Private Gift is a half to GI Kentucky Oaks heroine Secret Status (A.P. Indy). Her Honor Code yearling filly sold to BSW/Crow for $240,000 at last month’s Keeneland September sale. Private Gift was not bred back for 2020, but visited Candy Ride (Arg) this season. Baffert trains progeny by the nation’s leading sire Into Mischief that include GI Kentucky Derby hero Authentic and leading sophomore filly Gamine.

Multiple Grade I Winner Bast to Be Offered at Fasig-Tipton November

Three-time Grade I winner Bast (Uncle Mo), in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat Daddy), will be offered at this year’s Fasig-Tipton November Sale through Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, who will consign the 3-year-old bay on behalf of owner Charles Chu’s Baoma Corporation.

The only three-time Grade I winning filly of her crop in the U.S., she is also the only Grade I-winning juvenile filly of that crop to add a graded stakes victory at three. Trained throughout her career by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, she established herself as the West Coast’s leading 2-year-old filly in 2019 with a powerful 8 3/4-length victory in the GI Del Mar Debutante and a wire-to-wire score in the GI Chandelier S. She was then third after setting swift fractions over a tiring Santa Anita racetrack in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Bast would conclude her two-year-old campaign with a victory in the GI Starlet S. at Los Alamitos, going gate to wire over off going. She then kicked off her sophomore campaign with another triumph in the seven-furlong GII Santa Ynez S. in January at Santa Anita. She retired with a record of 6-4-1-1 and $852,200 in earnings.

“Bast’s tremendous ability and gorgeous looks should make her an outstanding broodmare,” said Baffert. “I have only seen five yearling fillies at the sales that were a ‘must buy’ in my life, and she is one them. She is that beautiful.”

Bast was purchased by Baffert and agent Donato Lanni on behalf of Baoma Corporation for $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton’s 2018 Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale.

“Bast was a fantastic racemare,” said John Sikura of consignor Hill ‘n’ Dale. “Selected and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, in foal to Triple crown winner Justify, and by leading sire Uncle Mo. She is without fault and has everything a breeder desires–class, performance, and pedigree at the highest levels.”

Added Fasig-Tipton President Boyd Browning: “Bast is another tremendous racehorse campaigned by Charles and Susan Chu. Her brilliance on the racetrack and impeccable pedigree make her a broodmare with unlimited potential.”

Multiple Grade 1 Winner Bast To Be Offered At Fasig-Tipton November Sale

Three-time Grade 1 winner Bast, in foal to Triple Crown winner Justify, will be offered at this year's Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

Hill 'n' Dale Sales Agency will consign the 3-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo on behalf of owner Charles Chu's Baoma Corporation.

Bast is the only three-time Grade 1-winning filly of her crop in the U.S. She is also the only Grade 1 winning juvenile filly of that crop to add a graded stakes victory at three.

Trained throughout her career by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, she established herself as the West Coast's leading 2-year-old filly in 2019. Following a second-place finish in her career debut at two at Del Mar, Bast returned to the races three weeks later to break her maiden in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante by a powerful 8 3/4 lengths.

Stretching out to 1 1/16 miles for her next start in the G1 Chandelier Stakes, she went-to-wire to notch her second career Grade 1 win.

Bast would next run in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita. Despite setting swift fractions over a tiring racetrack, she gamely held on to finish third, just two lengths behind eventual Eclipse champion British Idiom.

Bast would conclude her 2-year-old campaign with a victory in the G1 Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos, winning in impressive gate-to-wire fashion over an off racetrack.

Bast began her 3-year-old campaign in January, turning back in distance to seven furlongs in the G2 Santa Ynez Stakes. Despite spotting four pounds to her rivals, she delivered another effortless victory, increasing her earnings to $852,200 in what would be her final career start. All four of her career wins were in Grade 1 or graded stakes company.

“Bast's tremendous ability and gorgeous looks should make her an outstanding broodmare,” said Baffert. “I have only seen five yearling fillies at the sales that were a 'must buy' in my life, and she is one them. She is that beautiful.”

Purchased by Baffert and agent Donato Lanni on behalf of Baoma Corporation for $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton's 2018 Saratoga Selected Yearling Sale, Bast is a daughter of champion Uncle Mo. She is offered in foal to Triple Crown winner and Horse of the Year Justify.

Her dam Laffina, by Arch, is a half-sister to graded stakes winner Mananan McLir, and stakes winners Big Sur and Charming N Lovable. Charming N Lovable is in turn the dam of Grade 1-winning female Fault. Laffina is also a half-sister to graded stakes performer Sandra's Rose, the dam of South Bend, a stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed 3-year-old colt this year.

“Bast was a fantastic racemare,” said John G. Sikura of consignor Hill 'n' Dale. “Selected and trained by Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, in foal to Triple crown winner Justify, and by leading sire Uncle Mo. She is without fault and has everything a breeder desires – class, performance, and pedigree at the highest levels.”
