Into Mischief’s Daring Do Wins Her First Stakes In Pea Patch

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.

Champion Wonder Wheel Retired, to Sell at Fasig-Tipton November

Wonder Wheel (Into Mischief–Wonder Gal, Tiz Wonderful), the 2022 champion 2-year-old filly, has been retired after finishing eighth in the July 1 GIII Selene S. at Woodbine, reports Jon Green, the general manager of the owner, D.J. Stables. She will be sold this fall at the Fasig-Tipton November sale.

After clinching an Eclipse Award with her win in the 2022 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, Wonder Wheel struggled this year, going 0-for-4. In the Selene, she was beaten 21 3/4 lengths.

“Wonder Wheel has been battling a couple of minor issues since her 2-year-old year,” Green said. “She had bone bruising and a minor ankle injury. We gave her some time off and did a little procedure on her ankle to take care of a flake. Unfortunately, because she is a 17-hand beast, she continued to have some bone bruising and the same ankle has been an issue. This week, we decided that because she would need some time before we could run her again that we'd pull the plug on her racing career. She's been so valuable to us as a race horse. She's a champion and a two-time Grade I winner. She's too valuable a horse to continue to run her when she's not 100 percent.”

Wonder Wheel was acquired for $275,000 at the 2021 Keeneland September sale and turned over to trainer Mark Casse. She won her first two starts before finishing second in the GI Spinaway S. She returned with a win in the GI Alcibiades S. before her three-length win in the Juvenile Fillies.

“Normally, when you campaign a horse of Wonder Wheel's caliber you're always looking at what will be their next race,” Green said. “You are constantly looking forward. With her, I actually had the opportunity to enjoy watching her run and not worrying about what's next. It really was a thrill, especially the first five races of her career. It was nothing like I had felt before and we have campaigned other Grade I winners and champions like Jaywalk.”

Green said that Wonder Wheel was always a favorite because she was named by his mother Lois. Lois Green passed away in May at the age of 84.

“The reason why Wonder Wheel is so special to me is that my mom, who recently passed, named Wonder Wheel,” he said. “Normally, we don't get too emotional about horses and try to treat it as a business. But Wonder Wheel will always be near and dear to my heart because my mom named her.”

Wonder Wheel won four of eight career starts and earned $1,590,725.

Authentic Full-Brother Bushin Switches To Dirt in Japan

In this continuing series, we take a look ahead at US-bred and/or conceived runners entered for the upcoming weekend at the tracks on the Japan Racing Association circuit, with a focus on pedigree and/or performance in the sales ring. Here are the horses of interest for this weekend running at Chukyo and Hakodate Racecourses:

3rd-CKO, ¥10,480,000 ($72k), Maiden, 3yo, 1800m
CUPIDON (c, 3, American Pharoah–Chocolate Pop, by Cuvee), a half-brother to the versatile MGSW & GISP Airoforce (Colonel John), finished midfield in two tries over this distance at Hanshin last year and made his seasonal return with a runner-up effort in a 1400-meter allowance at Urawa on the NAR circuit June 1. A $300,000 purchase by Kokhi Maeda out of the 2021 Keeneland September sale, the gray would become a 31st Japanese winner for his Triple Crown-winning sire.

Flawless was offered with this colt in utero at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton November Sale days after Authentic's championships-clinching victory in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic, but was retained by Peter Blum after bidding reached $4.1 million. Bushin fetched $800,000 at Keeneland September last fall and the mare has since foaled a pair of Into Mischief fillies for Blum. B-Peter E Blum Thoroughbreds LLC (KY)
