Coolmore Goes to $1.6 Million for Broodmare Prospect Prank

The Coolmore team went to $1.6 million to secure the broodmare prospect Prank (Into Mischief–Callingmissbrown, by Pulpit) (hip 77) during Monday's first session of the Keeneland January sale. The 4-year-old bay, a half-sister to GI Belmont S. winner Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo), was tabbed a 'TDN Rising Star' following a scintillating debut victory at Saratoga in 2022, but was injured and never raced again. She was consigned to the sale by Gainesway, which campaigned her in partnership with LNJ Foxwoods and StarLadies Racing.

Pletcher Filly is No Joke; Becomes Another ‘Rising Star’ for Into Mischief

StarLadies Racing, LNJ Foxwoods and Gainesway Stable's Prank (Into Mischef–Callingmissbrown, by Pulpit), a $500,000 half-sister to stablemate and recent GI Belmont S. winner Mo Donegal (Uncle Mo), GISW, $1,511,800, flashed serious speed and ability Sunday to justify 1-2 backing and be named an obvious 'TDN Rising Star'.

Emerging from the pack to seize early command, the Todd Pletcher pupil doled out a swift opening split of :21.91 before leaving High Class (Into Mischief) in the dust through a :45.11 half. From there it was only a question of how far, as Prank hit another gear when given a few reminders by Irad Ortiz, Jr. and scampered away by 9 3/4 lengths in 1:03.94. St. Benedicts Prep (Flatter) was best of the rest.

Pletcher unveiled another 'Rising Star' last Sunday in Into Mischief's granddaughter Kaling (Practical Joke), and Into Mischief was represented by another 'Rising Star' Saturday in the form of Bob Baffert-trained Newgate. The Spendthrift Farm stalwart has now sired 33 runners who earned the publication's nod.

Prank is a granddaughter of GISW and GI Kentucky Oaks runner-up Island Sand (Tabasco Cat), whose progeny include 2017 GI Spinaway S. runner-up Maya Malibu (Malibu Moon). Her dam was a debut winner at four. Callingmissbrown was barren to Catholic Boy for 2021 and lost her Curlin Foal for 2022. She was bred back to Uncle Mo this season.

Maryland-Bred Yearling Show Champion Brings Six Figures At Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase

This year's Maryland Horse Breeders Association Yearling Show champion, a Bernardini filly out of the Not For Love mare Mystic Love, sold for $100,000 at Fasig-Tipton's Selected Yearlings Showcase, held Sept. 9-10 in Lexington, Ky.

The second foal for her multiple stakes-winning dam Mystic Love, the bay filly was consigned by Bill Reightler for GreenMount Farm and purchased for $100,000 by Frank Brothers, agent for StarLadies and Mathis. She was offered as Hip 267 at the Yearlings Showcase.

Bred by GreenMount in partnership with Godolphin, the filly won Class IV (for Maryland-bred fillies by out-of-state sires) at the yearling show, before going on to be crowned champion by judge Michael Matz. She was shown by Sabrina Moore, co-owner and manager of GreenMount, who also accompanied the filly to the sale.

“She was a nice mover,” Matz said following the yearling show. “She just had an overall look. I thought she was well-made and pretty well balanced.”
