Pretty Mischievous, winner of three Grade 1 stakes last year but 0-for-2 this year, has been working at Churchill Downs since finishing third last out in the Ogden Phipps (G1).
Wednesday, the 4-year-old Into Mischief filly breezed four furlongs in 47.4 seconds, fifth fastest of 18 at the distance.
Trained by Brendan Walsh, Pretty Mischievous was the champion 3-year-old filly of 2023 after wins in the Kentucky Oaks (G1), Acorn (G1) and Test (G1). Then she was second by a half-length in the Cotillion (G1) before being scratched from the Breeders’ Cup Distaff.
Pretty Mischievous’s 2024 debut was a third-place effort in the La Troienne (G1) on a sloppy surface, which was not to her liking Walsh told BloodHorse. He also said she was hurt by the slow pace of the Ogden Phipps. Though he wasn’t sure of her next start, he said the goal again is the Breeders’ Cup Distaff.
