New York-based freshman sire Honest Mischief secured his first winner Wednesday when Sacrosanct rolled to victory in the second race at Saratoga Race Course.
Honest Mischief, an 8-year-old son of Into Mischief out of the Grade 1-winning Seattle Slew mare Honest Lady, stands for $6,500 at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson.
Bred by Burleson Farms, Mckenzie Bloodstock and Sequel Thoroughbreds, Sacrosanct won his debut in a 6-furlong New York-bred maiden special weight by 3 1/4 lengths for trainer Brad Cox. Owned by Lady Sheila Stable, Jon Hansen and Schwing Thoroughbreds, Sacrosanct is out of the Unbridled’s Song mare Vibrato. He sold for $260,000 out of the Sequel Bloodstock consignment at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale.
“We are thrilled with Sacrosanct’s debut,” said Carlos Manresa, Sequel’s director of operations. “It is always exciting when a homebred wins at Saratoga, particularly as the first winner for our young stallion, Honest Mischief. Having had the opportunity to break and train Sacrosanct before selling him at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in training sale, we were confidant that he would be a competitive first-time starter.
“Sacrosanct was one of many fast-working juveniles for Honest Mischief and we look forward to seeing them as they make their first starts in the weeks and months to come.”
Bred and campaigned by Juddmonte Farms, Honest Mischief won four of nine starts with three seconds and a third for $287,464 in earnings. He won the Force the Pass City of Laurel Stakes and finished third in the Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga Race Course as a 3-year-old.
