Some of the most highly anticipated races during the summer racing season are the 'baby' races during the boutique meetings at Saratoga and Del Mar and at Ellis Park, which attract its fair share of high-priced offspring from a variety of top national outfits. Summer Breezes highlights debuting 2-year-olds at those meetings that have been sourced at the breeze-up sales earlier in the year, with links to their under-tack previews. Here are the horses entered for Friday at Del Mar:

A colt by super sire Into Mischief (hip 30) returns to the sales ring for the second time in six months when he sells through the Darby Dan Farm consignment during the first session of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale Monday. The yearling holds the distinction of having the highest previous sales price in the Saratoga auction's 240-head catalogue after selling for $650,000 as part of the Lothenbach dispersal the Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale in February. A colt by Constitution (hip 59) has the next highest previous price, having sold for $525,000 at last year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

Quick Turnaround for Into Mischief Colt at Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale

MyRacehorse representatives arrived at the 2022 renewal of the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Yearling Sale ready for anything but expecting nothing. With the sale's two-day average closing out at $468,217 for 143 select yearlings sold, not to mention the healthy median of $375,000, it was clear that all the stars would have to align perfectly for the team to walk away with any one of the yearlings on their shortlist. Whether it could be chalked up to diligence, fate or even chance, team members haltered a pair of yearlings, a colt by Arrogate and a filly by Audible. While the latter–a $320,000 purchase who was subsequently named Lady Blitz–has yet to stand out, the former, a colt out of Smart Shopping (Smart Strike) and later named Seize the Grey would give the group a memorable Classic run, culminating with a GI Preakness Stakes victory under the tutelage of Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
