Into Mischief Colt Like a 'Green Wave' At the Fair Grounds

5th-Fair Grounds, $75,000, Msw, 3-20, 3yo, 6f, 1:09.09, ft, 1 1/4 lengths.
TULANE TRYST (c, 3, Into Mischief–Desire Street, by Congrats) a firming 7-5 favorite in what looked on paper to be a hot Fair Grounds maiden, built on a big-figure second behind the impressive He's In Charge (Candy Ride {Arg}) on career debut over course and distance Jan. 30 to give trainer Cherie DeVaux a second straight winner on the program following on the race four tally of Three Flamingoes (English Channel). Settled worse than midfield through a fast opening quarter of :21.55, the $310,000 Keeneland September yearling raced three and four wide on the turn, but with cover, tipped out for clear running in to the stretch and ran past a game Mr. Sippy (Runhappy) to take it by 1 1/4 lengths. Koolhaus (Nyquist), a $600,000 KEENOV weanling, surrendered first run to his rivals after settling near the tail of the field, but made solid stretch headway to complete the exacta. Produced by a half-sister to SW & GSP Abraham (Distorted Humor) and from the female family of MGSW/GISP Miss Isella (Silver Charm), GSW Sir Cherokee (Cherokee Run), MSW Guam Typhoon (Distorted Humor) and MGSP Lady Linda (Torrential), Tulane Tryst has a 2-year-old half-brother by Speightstown and a yearling half-sister by More Than Ready. Sales history: $310,000 Ylg '19 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $55,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
