Saturday Insights: Into Mischief Filly Looks To Swipe Saratoga Debut

6th-SAR, $136.5K, Msw, 2yo, f, 6f, 2:31 p.m.

With some bullet works under her belt at Saratoga (Aug. 23, 3f, :36.00, 1/11), $475,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase SHOP LIFTING (Into Mischief) heads to the post for Team Spoor for her debut. The bay filly's dam GI Personal Ensign S. heroine Miss Shop (Deputy Minister) is a half-sister to the dam of GISW Power Broker (Pulpit) dam and GSW Trappe Shot (Tapit). She also produced GIII Miss Grillo S. winner Tin Type Gal (Tapit). Trained by Tony Dutrow, she will be ridden by Jose Ortiz.

“I don't know what's going to happen–American Pharoah lost the first time–but I have my opinion, and that is, looking at her, you think, 'Wow,'” Dutrow said. “If you told me she was a 5-year-old, I wouldn't even question it. When I see her out there on the racetrack, it's like few can do. I firmly believe that she's a nicer kind and time will tell just how nice.”

Also entered for her bow is Lady de Berry (Practical Joke), who sold to Leigh Bloodstock at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale for $185,000 and then went for $270,000 at the OBS March Sale. The Chad Brown trainee's dam Tortuga Lady (Thunder Gulch) is a full-sister to GI Kentucky Derby runner-up Invisible Ink. She is responsible for SW Princess Arabella (Any Given Saturday), whose own daughter Tapella (Tapit) foaled GII Golden Rod S. hero Hoosier Philly (Into Mischief). TJCIS PPS
