2nd-Saratoga, $90,000, (S), Msw, 8-21, 2yo, 6f, 1:11.65, ft, 3 1/4 lengths.
SACROSANCT (c, 2, Honest Mischief–Vibrato, by Unbridled’s Song), the 8-5 favorite, strode home an easy 3 1/4-length victor of his debut at Saratoga Wednesday, becoming the first winner for his freshman sire (by Into Mischief). The bay colt rushed up to press the pace down the backstretch through an opening quarter in :22.58. He took over approaching the stretch as the half went up in :46.12 and was well in control despite drifting slightly down the lane. Skytown (Echo Town) chased him home in second and Bold Fortune (Central Banker) was third.
Sacrosanct was a $260,000 purchase at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May sale following a :10 flat work.
Bloodstock agents Kerri Radcliffe–bidding on behalf of Sheila Rosenblum’s Lady Sheila Stables–and Clay Scherer found they were on the same colt heading into the ring at Timonium and teamed up to buy the youngster on behalf of their respective clients.
“He was a gorgeous colt,” said Radcliffe. “I was trying to get Sheila to buy him and we wanted a partner, so I waited for him and as I followed him in, Clay Scherer was there and asked if I was on him. He loved him, too. I had Sheila on the phone and she was great with partnering up. I am pretty sure Clay and I bought him on one bid.”
The unraced Vibrato, purchased by Sims/Thomas/Burleson as a 3-year-old for $70,000 at the 2016 Keeneland November sale, was bred back to Honest Mischief this year. A daughter of multiple stakes winner Cuff Me (Officer), she has a yearling colt by Instagrand and a weanling full-brother to Sacrosanct.
Honest Mischief stands at Sequel Stallions for $6,500. A Juddmonte-bred stakes-winning son of Honest Lady (Seattle Slew), he was third in the 2019 GII Amsterdam Stakes. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500.
