LAVENDER DISASTER (f, 2, Into Mischief–Cafe Americano {GSW, $178,800}, by Medaglia d'Oro) debuted going long Sunday and had to take back a bit after an unsettled start saw her hit the side of the gate. Situated mid pack in fourth through fractions of :24.62 and :50.15, she came through along the rail into the far turn before angling out with a quarter remaining to take aim at pacesetter Snipsnippitysnip (Girvin). Once in the clear past the furlong marker, the 3-5 favorite closed with a good kick to prevail by three-quarters of a length over stablemate Competitive Market (Authentic). The first foal out of the Peter Brant-owned GSW Cafe Americano, Lavender Disaster's second dam is dual Canadian champion Roxy Gap (Indian Charlie). Café Americano, herself a $625,000 KEESEP yearling back in 2017 for White Birch Farm, has a yearling Tapit colt who was withdrawn from this year's KEESEP sale and returned to Into Mischief for a full-sibling to Lavender Disaster next year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
