BODY & SOUL: MAKING MAYHEM F-T GULFSTREAM SALE by Robert D. Fierro, DataTrack International WEDNESDAY It's one thing when a stallion comes along with some really nice horses in his first couple of crops, but it's a whole 'nother smoke when the next three crops come along and he hasn't sustained the drive, so to speak. At that point the market usually determines he was just into mischief in the sandbox and won't be able to make mayhem in the whole schoolyard. In the case at hand, however, we have a horse actually named Into Mischief (Harlan=s Holiday), now well beyond kicking sand in his rivals' blinkers and on his way to writing a remarkable tale that has a basis in at least four different qualities ranging from pedigree to biomechanics. As a racehorse, Into Mischief came along before his multi-year champion half-sister (Henny Hughes) and his GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf-winning half-brother Mendelssohn (Scat Daddy).

What it leads to yet, I don=t know--if they all land in the same spots again like they do a lot of times, historically, at this sale. But listening to the guys talking, it seems like there is a little bit more to go around. I don=t know if there is. At OBS, there was no out-of-the-park horse, but there were a lot of horses who sold really, really well. And hopefully that is the case here. I haven=t heard who the out-of-the-park horse is here yet. Usually, you hear the chiming in the trees and I haven=t heard that yet. But several people who would know what they=re talking about have said this a really good-looking group of horses. So that would be great--more to go around.@ The Gulfstream auction has led off the 2-year-old sales season for the last several years, but this year it follows on an OBS March sale which produced mixed results, with the average down 10% and the median up nearly 16% from 2017 figures.

This track is a testing track for these babies, especially when they are going blazing at full speed. So I find that it does tire them out a little bit, but they all have good energy this morning.@ During last year=s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale, 74 juveniles sold for $25,115,000. The average was $339,392 and the median was $270,000.

Into Mischief | Joy Gilbert photo

Into Mischief was fast and consistent in Southern California, winning the GI Hollywood Futurity and the Listed Damascus S., while placing in three other stakes from a well-spaced career of only six starts. It was that speed which was the strong suit he had going for him when he entered stud at Spendthrift in 2009 at a $12,500 fee because he really didn't have much of a commercial pedigree behind him at the time. His dam, Leslie's Lady, was a restricted stakes winner by a nice, but not leading, sire in Tricky Creek. The next two dams were by the very good Stop the Music and decent One for All, but the quality of the black-type in the family was best represented by Roanoke, a Grade I winning half-brother to his third dam, One Last Bird--Roanoke became a very modest sire. Indeed, the family was a bit moribund until the Storm Cat line came along, first through Harlan's Holiday, sire of Into Mischief, then through Hennessy, paternal grandsire of Beholder and paternal great-grandsire of Mendelssohn. In addition, up until then his sire, Harlan's Holiday, though gaining momentum as a leading sire, had not emerged as a potential sire-of-sires. Indeed, there was hardly any thought back then of him becoming as influential as he did until his untimely demise--after all, his own sire, Harlan (Storm Cat), also died early, while Harlan's other top-class son Menifee, was exported to Korea early in his stud career (see our previous column, Mar. 7th, "USA! USA! USA!"). This was a line that was generally overlooked. For all these reasons, it was hardly surprising that Into Mischief attracted a modest number of mares in his first four years at TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 6 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • MARCH 28, 2018 stud which resulted in foal crops of 42, 27, 37 and 37--a total of 143 foals, which was 18 fewer than the number of registered foals (161) in his fifth crop. By that time, he'd churned out seven SWs from his first crop, including Canadian multi-champion Miss Mischief, GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Goldencents, multiple Grade 2 winner Vyjack, who were followed in his next crop by GII Super Derby winner Vicar's in Trouble and Grade III winner Can the Man. There have been 11 SWs thus far from that fifth crop of 2014, including multiple Grade I winner Practical Joke (who entered stud this year), who helped his sire to top the list of Juvenile Sires in 2016. The current 3-year-olds include Classic prospect Audible, winner of the GII Holy Bull S. Along the way, Into Mischief's stud fee has rocketed to $100,000, thank you very much. You can look at his success from a pedigree perspective, but more interestingly are several findings our team has made in researching what characteristics he possessed that generated his speed and how he manages to "fit" so many mares besides the fact that the Storm Cat line seems to have worked pretty well with his family.

$ Into Mischief is a bit of a biomechanical exception in the way he is structured to be a racing machine in that the length of his ilium--which is the bone that goes from the hip to the rear of the horse and forms an acute angle with the femur--is longer than his femur and tibia (the bone from the bottom of the femur to the hock). These three bones have a great deal to do with forward projection needed at the start and the kick that is needed at the end. If they are equal in size, power is generated evenly. If the ilium is longer than the other two, the power generated from the top is forwardly pronounced and leads to greater early speed--but sometimes at a risk of front end problems especially if the horse's front legs are a bit short or its body set in the front is low. But if the horse is gathered and allowed to stalk, it can generate explosive speed. This structure is inherited occasionally from what we have observed in others over the years. In time, we will have a representative sampling of Into Mischief's offspring to determine if he is passing this component on, and how the ones who have the trait have performed.

$ There is a striking similarity among Harlan's Holiday and Into Mischief and their sons at stud in Kentucky when it comes to Phenotype. The accompanying chart shows (in red) where Into Mischief and his sons Can the Man, Goldencents and Practical Joke fall on our Phenotype Target along with Harlan's Holiday and his other sons Majesticperfection and Shanghai Bobby (in blue). They are all Power-type horses, best adapted to display TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 7 OF 12 • THETDN.COM WEDNESDAY • MARCH 28, 2018

speed from sprints to middle distances. Except for one off to the left (still a Power type), these seven are pretty much the same Phenotype. As many observers have noted, offspring of Into Mischief, who resembles his sire to the eye, also seem to be uncannily similar (to the eye) to those of Harlan's Holiday. Maybe this helps explain it.

$ In terms of size and scope (different than Phenotype, which is a physical expression of genotype) the following stallions pop up "clustered" among two or more of this line: Giant's Causeway, Notebook, Dixie Union, War Front, Wildcat Heir, Forest Wildcat, Scat Daddy, Bernardini and Mr. Greeley. In our experience this rarely happens within a sire-line or branch. (Could this give a hint as to which broodmare sires might work best with this line?) Every once in a while a horse comes along whose name defines his aura as a racehorse and progenitor. The one in question has caused a serious amount of mischief thus far on the track and at stud for his competition--we would not be surprised if he turns that mischief into mayhem.

"I'm slowly getting back into my schedule, but once it comes playoff time, it's full steam ahead," he said. "I've been very lucky with my bosses. John McDonough, the President of the Chicago Blackhawks, and Sam Flood of NBC Sports told me to make my own work schedule. You feel like you are letting everybody down. I take pride in working and doing what I do and what I love to do, so I'm very thankful that they would be so accommodating in checking up on me all the time. When you work for people like that--the Wirtz family in Chicago and NBC-- I'm lucky in a lot of ways." He is looking forward to the Santa Anita Derby and the likelihood of a match race between Bolt D'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro) and McKinzie (Street Sense). "The rematch will be interesting," he said. "Oldtime hockey fans would have appreciated the San Felipe race because there was a lot of clutching and grabbing, bumping and grinding. I did not agree with the disqualification of McKinzie and not because I was on McKinzie. I just thought there were multiple infractions on both sides. That will be for my opinion on the broadcast. I hope we have a field of 10 or 11, but that's highly unlikely." He is reserving picking a Derby winner at this point or even offering an opinion. "Right now I could make a case for six or seven, but it seems like Justify (Scat Daddy) has all the makings," he said. "Whether he's ready for the Derby or not, this is a horse that you're going to be looking at in July and August for the Travers and the Breeders' Cup. He's a very, very young horse and going against the grain and the numbers say what it is and we understand he never raced as a 2-year-old. If anybody could [get this type of horse to the Derby], certainly a guy like can. Time will tell, but that is the one horse that kind of sits out there. Chad Brown's Good Magic (Curlin), he probably needed the [GII Fountain Of Youth S.] race off of the [GI] Breeders' Cup Juvenile. We know that he can run a large race like he did last year in the big race." Olczyk is picking a Stanley Cup final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Nashville Predators, which he had publicly predicted at the start of the season. "As far as picking who's going to win, I stopped doing that a long time ago," he said. "The sleeper team is Winnipeg, which is really on the come. They are right there and have had a great year. Boston has emerged as a real dangerous team with all the moves and the young players they have. But I'll stay with Nashville and Tampa. "I'll go to Oldsmar for some simulcasting if Tampa is in the finals. I can drive over to Kentucky Downs when I'm in Nashville if that ends up being the case. Everything is built around if there is live horse racing whatever city I'm in."

O=BRIEN EXTRACTS BIGGEST WIN TO DATE CHURCHILL WILL SHUTTLE By DaithR Harvey TO COOLMORE AUSTRALIA Limerick-based trainer Richard O=Brien will be back in his dentistry practice later this week glowing in satisfaction after Dianthus (Ire) (Epaulette {Aus}) provided him with the biggest win of his nascent training career. The 3-year-old filly claimed some notable scalps in the i50,000 Madrid H. on the opening day of the Irish flat season at Naas last Sunday, including the runner up London Icon (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}) who holds an entry in the G1 Tattersalls Irish 2000 Guineas. O=Brien is only in his second full season with a trainers license and while he has no plans just yet to quit the day job, he harbours great ambitions to increase the size of his string. AWe have 17 or 18 riding out at the moment but its hard to make a proper impact with that number of horses,@ O=Brien told the TDN on Monday.
