+SARATOGA MISCHIEF (c, 2, Into Mischief–Pacific Destiny, by Mr. Greeley), a $220,000 KEENOV weanling that developed into a $360,000 FTSAUG yearling, was let go at 6-1 despite a half-mile best-of-60 from the gate here in :48 July 4 and his trainer’s prowess with first timers. Perched outside the leading duo, the bay stalked those rivals through an opening quarter in :22.32 and a half in :45.72. Drawing alongside those leaders turning for home, Saratoga Mischief drew away from those rivals in the lane and held off a late charge from $575,000 KEESEP purchase Greenpointcrusader (Bernardini) to win by a neck. It was the first win of the meet for Todd Pletcher, who has won the leading trainer title at the Spa 11 times, including the past five years in a row. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
