After watching Audible the Play capture the first maiden special weight event for West Virginia-bred two-year-old fillies at Charles Town this year June 28, trainer Anthony Farrior said that he would likely give the juvenile daughter of Audible a brief respite before pointing her for stakes company locally or at Colonial Downs.

There is no winner's circle photo featuring Mr Fisk and his entourage following his victory in the Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes (G1) May 27. The son of Arrogate was instead being tended to by a veterinary team and being transported off the track in an equine ambulance.

Los Alamitos, CA

1st-Los Alamitos, $42,500, Msw, 6-29, 2yo, 5f, :57.90, ft, 1 1/2 lengths. MISCHIEF RIVER (c, 2, Into Mischief–Candy Drawer, by Candy Ride {Arg}) was overlooked as a 7-1 shot for his debut here in favor of fellow 'TDN Insight' runner Privman (Justify) who was tabbed as the even-money favorite. Co-owned by Chris Galpin and trained by James Glenn–both from the Quarter Horse world–the juvenile grabbed the early lead from the bell, but relinquished the top spot up the backstretch to General Jackson (Maximus Mischief). Chasing the pace around the far turn, the colt took the lead at the top of the lane and could not be caught by the chalk who finished a length and a half behind Mischief River at the wire. The winner is a full-brother to Into Chocolate, GSW, $220,531 and to a colt who was foaled last year. Candy Drawer is a half-sister to GISW Harmonious (Dynaformer). Sales History: $160,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $500,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
