Background
Pretty Mischievous is a bay mare who was bred and is owned by Godolphin in Kentucky. Pretty Mischievous is out of the Tapit mare Pretty City Dancer, dead-heat winner of the 2016 Grade I Spinaway Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. Michael Banahan, director of bloodstock for Godolphin in the USA noted that Godolphin had a pairing with Into Mischief in mind in going to US$3.5 million to purchase her at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November Sale, where she was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. Stroud Coleman Bloodstock signed the ticket.[3]
Pretty Mischievous's sire Into Mischief, stands at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky for $250,000 (2023).[3]
Pretty Mischievous is trained by the Irish-born trainer Brendan P. Walsh.[3]
After a successful three-year-old campaign Pretty Mischievous was awarded Eclipse Award as the U.S. Champion Three-Year-Old Filly for 2023.[4]
