Grade I winner 'TDN Rising Star' Doppelganger (Into Mischief) was represented by his first foal, a filly out of Saucy Dame (Distorted Humor), at David Perrine's Perrine Time Thoroughbreds Friday morning, announced Pleasant Acres Stallions via a press release.
The filly was born 9:30 a.m. and is reportedly healthy and strong. Described as 'blessed with exceptional bloodlines' by Christine Jones, the director of stallion services, the foal is out of a winning half-sister to MSW & GSP Stormy West (Gone West) and GSW Buffum (Bernardini). Another of the dam's half-sisters, GSP Renaissance Lady (A. P. Indy), is responsible for GSW Oxy Lady (Oxbow) as well as MSP Elusive Schemes (Elusive Quality).
The second dam is the venerable Stick to Beauty (Illustrious), responsible for the likes of champion sprinter MGSW Gold Beauty and MGISW Maplejinsky (Nijinsky II)–in turn the dam of champion older mare and Filly Triple Crown victress MGISW Sky Beauty (Blushing Groom {Fr}) and the granddam of MGISW Tale of Ekati (Tale of the Cat) as well as GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Pleasant Home (Seeking the Gold). The female line is active on both hemispheres and in several countries.
Doppelganger won the GI Carter Handicap in 2023 and was multiple graded-placed as a sophomore in 2022 as well. He stands at Pleasant Aces Stallions for $10,000 in 2025.
