Into Mischief’s Dayoutoftheoffice Stamps BC Ticket in Frizette

Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief), away since a smashing success in the GIII Schuylerville S. at Saratoga July 16, picked up right where she left off to earn an automatic berth to the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in Saturday’s GI Frizette S. at Belmont. Co-owned by her trainer Tim Hamm and breeder Siena Farms, the daughter of the nation’s hottest stallion was an easy debut winner at Gulfstream all the way back on May 14 in her only other start. Back as the second choice at 29-10 behind GI Spinaway S. romper Vequist (Nyquist), the dark bay traveled strongly in the bridle from second through splits of :22.94 and :46.41 before taking over from stopping frontrunner Joy’s Rocket (Anthony’s Cross) and opening up entering the lane. Vequist tried to make a race of it in the run to the line, but Dayoutoftheoffice kept finding to hold sway by two lengths before galloping out very strongly. It was another 10 1/4 lengths back to longshot Cilla (California Chrome).

“When you ride fast horses, it makes it easy for you,” said hot-handed jockey Junior Alvarado, who piloted the winners of the GI Belmont Derby Invitational S., GII Beldame S. and GII Gallant Bloom H. last weekend. “I thought [the pace] was going to be a little more contested and I was going to stalk, but I felt like I was in control of the race from where I was. I knew I had the horse in front of me [measured], so I just made sure my filly got into a nice rhythm and at the same time keep everybody where I wanted them to be. It worked out great today.”

The Frizette was the first highest-level victory for veteran horseman Tim Hamm. As for the reason for the time off after the Schuyverville, he said:

“She’s a big, scopey filly and I wanted to have some horse for the end of the year. The plan was to have a fresh horse for this time of the year. We wanted to just train her a little lightly and have her fresh for the fall run. Everything went according to plan.

“When you put a plan together that works–the team of Siena Farm and myself and all our assistants–you feel vindicated. We all thought this filly was special when she won at 4 1/2 [furlongs] because we knew she would be able to get longer than that. She was able to get the job done today.”

Hamm confirmed Dayoutoftheoffice would now point for the Breeders’ Cup.

Pedigree Notes:

Into Mischief’s tally of Grade I winners now sits at eight. He is the leading general sire in North America this year thanks to the exploits of the likes of GI Kentucky Derby hero Authentic, brilliant MGISW sophomore filly Gamine, et al and his yearling sales figures last month were equally staggering. His fee was bumped from $175,000 to $225,000 by Spendthrift Farm for 2021.

Dayoutoftheoffice is the second Grade I winner out of an Indian Charlie mare (Mitole {Eskendereya}) and is bred on the same cross as last week’s impressive Gallant Bloom heroine Frank’s Rockette (Into Mischief). Siena claimed dam Gottahaveadream for $50,000 while she was a maiden in at Keeneland almost exactly eight years ago. She graduated at Turfway a few months later before being retired to the breeding shed. The half-sister to GISW Here Comes Ben (Street Cry {Ire}) hails from the family of top-level winners Daredevil, Albertus Maximus and Race the Wild Wind. She produced a Carpe Diem filly in 2019 and a Bolt d’Oro colt in 2020 before being bred back to the Siena co-campaigned Always Dreaming.
