Pretty Mischievous

Pretty Mischievous won her 2-year-old career debut in a 6 1/2-furlong race at Churchill Downs on Sept. 18, 2022. She added another win in her second start, also at Churchill Downs, when she defeated allowance company by 1 3/4 lengths going seven furlongs on a sloppy track.

Pretty Mischievous suffered her first career debut when third in her first stretchout in the 1 1/16-mile Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs on Nov. 26. She did, however, rebound late in 2022 when she squeezed in one more start and was victorious in the $100,000 Untapable Stakes at Fair Grounds on Dec. 26.

Pretty Mischievous made her 3-year-old debut at the Fair Grounds on Feb. 18, 2023 in the Grade 2 $300,000 Rachel Alexandra Stakes going 1 1/16. Facing a heavy 2-5 favorite that day against Hoosier Philly, Pretty Mischievous was sent off as the 8-1 third choice on the tote board in a six-horse field. She pressed the pace all the way and won a stretch battle to prevail by three-quarters of a length in a time of 1:45.15 in a race considered to be a major prep for the Longines Kentucky Oaks. It was 8 1/2 lengths back to Hoosier Philly in third.

Pretty Mischievous is trained by Brad Cox. She was bred in Kentucky by the sire Into Mischief out of the mare Pretty City Dancer by Tapit.
