Into Mischief’s Wonder Wheel Rolls Home at First-Asking

4th-Churchill Downs, $105,843, Msw, 6-3, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:04.73, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
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.

Rapid-Fire Second Winner for Arrogate

4th-Monmouth, $56,125, Msw, 9-6, 2yo, 6f, 1:11.20, ft, 6 1/2 lengths.
AFFABLE MONARCH (c, 2, Arrogate–Social Queen {MGSW, $344,164}, by Dynaformer) gave his late sire (by Unbridled's Song) a second first-crop winner at Monmouth Park about 30 minutes after Adversity broke the mold up at Saratoga. The Colts Neck homebred, off at 13-5, was beaten for speed and trailed behind a quick pace through the opening exchanges. Equipped with a shadow roll for this first go, the gray colt made stealthy inside progress leaving the three-eighths pole, got through an inviting opening at the inside with a little less than a quarter-mile to race and careered away from his rivals to score by 6 1/2 lengths. Pioneer of Medina (Pioneerof the Nile) was second, while fast-working and regally bred favorite Courvoisier (Tapit–Take Charge Brandi) was third. The winner's dam was a dual Grade III winner on the turf, including the GIII Eatontown H. at this venue before going on to produce fellow turfer Force the Pass (Speightstown), GISW, $1,359,114, who stood his first season at stud in Maryland in 2020 before being sold to Saudi Arabia. Herself a daughter of SW and GSP Gal On the Go (Irgun), Social Queen is the dam of a yearling full-brother to Force the Pass (hip 154 in Keeneland September), was barren to Quality Road for this year and was most recently covered by Improbable. Sales history: $425,000 RNA Ylg '20 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $34,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

First Foal a Filly for Force the Pass

The first foal by Grade I-winning millionaire Force the Pass (Speightstown–Social Queen, by Dynaformer) arrived Feb. 4 at Murmur Farm in Maryland. The filly is out of Magical Point, a daughter of Point Given out of a stakes winning and producing full-sister to Grade I winner and sire Include (Broad Brush). Magical Point, the dam of three winners, and her filly are both owned by Wasabi Ventures Stables, who also stood Force the Pass at Anchor & Hope Farm in Maryland during the 2020 breeding season.

Racing as a homebred for Richard Santulli's Colts Neck Stables, Force the Pass won the GI Belmont Derby as a 3-year-old, having previously scored in the GIII Penn MileS. He added a victory in Monmouth Park's Cliff Hanger Stakes as a 6-year-old and placed in an additional half-dozen graded stakes. He is out of a multiple graded stakes winner.

Force the Pass stood a single season for Wasabi prior to his sale to Haif Stud in Saudi Arabia last summer, covering 57 mares at Anchor & Hope.

“This filly has everything you'd hope for in a stallion's first foal,” according to George Adams, Wasabi's Director of Stallions & Breeding. “She's got plenty of leg, lots of substance, and she's nice and correct. If they all look like this, the breeders are going to be very happy.”
