Into Mischief’s Denim and Pearls Game on Unveiling

5th-Keeneland, $100,000, Msw, 10-21, 2yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:19.58, ft, nose.
DENIM AND PEARLS (f, 2, Into Mischief–Majestic Presence {GSP-USA, MSP-Can, $227,896}, by Majestic Warrior) came into this unveiling sporting a bullet five furlong move over the track Oct. 15 (1/25) in 1:00.40, and crowned the 8-5 choice by the betting public, jumped well to find herself in the midst of a hotly contested lead. Losing her advantage to a vying outer rival, she reclaimed command coming into the homestretch and briefly put open air between herself and the field. Shifting out as the challengers closed the gap, she met all rallies to the wire and got the best of a photo over Sweet Gal of Mine (Dialed In). The full-sister to 'TDN Rising Star' Newgate, GSW, $241,975 commanded a sizable price tag as a yearling–$500,000 at FTSAUG–and is the most recent to the races for her dam. She has a yearling half-sister Adeera (Authentic). Majestic Presence, herself an accomplished runner and a half-sister to GSW Victress (Include) as well as to the dam of GSW My Majestic Rose (Majestic Warrior), visited Life is Good for 2024. Sales history: $500,000 Ylg '22 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $56,575. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Observations: Exciting Aventure Takes Aim at the Reservoirs

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Wednesday's Insights features TDN Rising Star Aventure.

12.50 Deauville, Group 3, €80,000, 2yo, f, 8fT
AVENTURE (IRE) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) earned TDN Rising Star status on her debut at Chantilly last month and takes part in this G3 Prix des Reservoirs.

‘Rising Star’ First Mission Returns Victoriously at Keeneland

10th-Keeneland, $120,000, Alw (NW2$X), Opt. Clm ($80,000), 10-14, 3yo/up, 1 1/16m, 1:45.63, ft, neck.
FIRST MISSION (c, 3, Street Sense–Elude, by Medaglia d'Oro), making his first start since winning this track's GIII Lexington S. during the April meeting, validated 2-5 favoritism–if only just–to give Godolphin a sweep of the late Daily Double. Off alertly from the inside stall, the homebred allowed himself to be taken back to sit in the second flight of horses behind a pace that was slow to materialize. Up into third and remaining glued to the fence entering the far turn following a half-mile that was clocked in just :49.73, First Mission came under a Luis Saez ride with 2 1/2 furlongs to race, but was scrubbed on vigorously to pick up the bridle. Short of running room in upper stretch behind a wall of horses, First Mission was forced to come across the heels of several rivals to find daylight five off the rail with time ticking away and kicked home gamely to prevail. The homebred earned a 96 Beyer on Fair Grounds sprint debut Feb. 18, good for only second to 'Rising Star' Bishops Bay (Uncle Mo) before dusting rivals by 6 1/2 lengths to pick up his own 'Rising Star' laurels. After besting future GI Woody Stephens S. hero Arabian Lion (Justify) in the Lexington, First Mission was being pointed to a start in the GI Preakness S., but a left hind issue forced his withdrawal 36 hours prior to the race. A daughter of Argentinan champion Forty Marchanta (Arg) (Roar), Elude is bred on that same Medaglia d'Oro cross over Forty Niner mares that has resulted in the likes of Rachel Alexandra, Songbird and Elate, to name a few. The mare was purchased by Oussama Aboughazale's International Equities Holding for $105,000 infoal to Street Sense at Keeneland January in 2022 and that full-brother to First Mission was hammered down to Richard Santulli's Colts Neck Stable for $500,000 at Keeneland September last month. Elude produced a colt by Protonico in 2023 and was bred to Life Is Good this past season. Lifetime Record: GSW, 4-3-1-0, $348,110. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

Justify’s City Of Troy Outclasses Dewhurst Opposition

Assuaging any and all fears presented by softened conditions, Coolmore's impressive G2 Superlative S. victor City Of Troy (Justify–Together Forever {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) set the seal on European  champion juvenile status with a performance brimming with pure brilliance in Saturday's G1 Native Trail's Dewhurst S. at Newmarket.

The 'TDN Rising Star' was the sharpest of eight into stride and floated along on the lead through halfway. Committed by Ryan Moore when stirred into action approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 8-15 favourite lengthened clear in effortless fashion to take an insurmountable buffer into the final furlong and moved like a tremendous machine on the ascent to hit the line strong with a 3 1/2-length advantage back to G3 Somerville Tattersall S. winner Alyanaabi (Ire) (Too Darn Hot {GB}). Fellow 'TDN Rising Star' Eben Shaddad (Calyx {GB}) performed with credit on unsuitable ground and finished one length adrift in third. The success provided Aidan O'Brien with a record-equalling eighth victory in the seven-furlong contest.
