Into MischiefJoy Gilbert

7th-Fair Grounds, $47,000, Msw, 12-18, 2yo, f, 1m 70y, 1:44.37, ft, 5 1/4 lengths.

DIVINE COMEDY (f, 2, Into Mischief–Via Strata, by Street Cry {Ire}) could only manage sixth in her 6 1/2-panel unveiling at Churchill Downs Sept. 17 and received Lasix for this first try at two turns. Going straight to the front, the 3-1 shot walked the dog through a half-mile in :48.40 and continued unchallenged into the lane, cruising clear to a 5 1/2-length success. Wicked Bisou (Wicked Strong), the half-sister to champion Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute), was the runner-up. Divine Comedy is the first foal out of Via Strata, who has since produced a pair of colts by Into Mischief. She failed to get in foal to Ghostzapper this spring. Her second dam is MGSW & GISP Golden Velvet (Seeking the Gold), who produced graded winners Lucullan (Hard Spun) and Innovative Idea (Bernardini). The winner's third dam is MGSW Caress (Storm Cat), who is the dam of Grade I-winning sire Sky Mesa (Pulpit). This is also the family of Grade I-winning sophomore Maxfield (Street Sense), who returns to action in NOLA Saturday. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $29,086.
