Practical Joke landed the Gr.1 Hopeful S. over seven furlongs and the Gr.1 Champagne S. a month later before finishing third in the Gr.1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile. He also proved very hard to beat around one turn as a 3YO, taking the Gr.3 Dwyer Stakes and then the Gr.1 H. Allen Jerkens Stakes, in which he gave weight and a beating to the future Gr.1 Vosburgh S. winner Takaful. Into Mischief is very successful with the MR PROSPECTOR line. As MR PROSPECTOR will be back in the fifth generation of Practical Joke’s foals, there is ample scope to add extra lines. Practical Joke and Goldencents are both out of grand-daughters of FORTY NINER , and he has black-type winners out of daughters of ROAR and TRIPPI (2). Into Mischief also has two black-type winners out of CARSON CITY mares and a Gr.3 winner out of a mare by Carson City’s son FIVE STAR DAY , which suggests CITY ZIP mares. Others are out of mares by GONE WEST ’s sons SPEIGHTSTOWN (2 Graded winners, including Gr.1 winner Mia Mischief), ELUSIVE QUALITY , GRAND SLAM and PROUD CITIZEN , so mares by SPEIGHTSTOWN look ideal for Practical Joke. Mares by MR GREELEY and ELUSIVE QUALITY should be useful means of reinforcing Practical Joke’s speed. Other MR PROSPECTOR line stallions which appear among the broodmare sires of Into Mischief’s Graded winners are LEMON DROP KID , LINE IN THE SAND and VICTORY GALLOP . VICTORY GALLOP , broodmare sire of Gr.2 winner Conquest Enforcer, represents the FAPPIANO branch, as does UNBRIDLED , broodmare sire of the very talented Covfefe. There are also black-type winners out of daughters of EMPIRE MAKER and UNBRIDLED’S SONG and Into Mischief has a first-rate record with mares by SONGANDAPRAYER , notably siring Gr.2 winner Maximus Mischief. Into Mischief is shaping up well with CANDY RIDE mares (three black-type earners from 15 foals). Mares by BROKEN VOW , PIONEEROF THE NILE and BODEMEISTER are well worth trying with Practical Joke. SEATTLE SLEW line mares are worth considering, as Into Mischief has a Gr.3 winner with a dam by BERNARDINI and he has made a promising start with TAPIT mares, siring a Listed winner and a Gr.2 performer. Into Mischief’s Gr.2 winner Vyjack is out of a mare by STRAVINSKY , a son of NUREYEV . He had Graded winners out of mares by DANZIG and his grandson LAWYER RON . Mares by such as WAR FRONT , HARD SPUN , WAR CHANT , BELONG TO ME , BOUNDARY , EXCHANGE RATE and HONOR GRADES could reinforce Practical Joke’s speed. Practical Joke is a member of the STORM CAT male line, he will be back in the fifth generation of Practical Joke’s foals. Again this allows mares with STORM CAT blood. UNCLE MO mares are worth trying as Into Mischief has two Gr.1 performers with dams by INDIAN CHARLIE . TIZNOW mares have produced a Gr.3-winning juvenile and a Gr.2-placed winner by Into Mischief.
