Into Mischief heads for Kentucky Derby |
|
Saturday Dec 22, 2007: The Hollywood Futurity (one mile and half a furlong on the all-weather track) saw a clash of the best to-year-olds on the West Coast. Trainer Richard Mandella was in desperately poor form, well he was before Into Mischief defied odds of 14/1 to land the three-quarters of a million dollar event. Students of form and history will take note with an eye to the Kentucky Derby as since 1981 the Futurity has produced no less than six subsequent Kentucky Derby winners. However the runner-up, Colonel John, produced a strong late run that certainly made an impression. Massive Drama in third had previously beaten the Victor Espinoza-ridden winner and would also have claims come next May. |
