IN a little over an hour on Saturday, 21-year-old Into Mischief (Harlan’s Holiday) sired a pair of colts who won the Grade 1 Florida Derby and Arkansas Derby. Both colts were gaining their maiden top-flight success.

The Brad Cox-trainer Commandment joins Tappan Street and Audible as a son of Into Mischief to win the Florida Derby. Last year Tappan Street beat Sovereignty in the race, and the runner-up went on to win two legs of the Triple Crown, including the Kentucky Derby. Audible ran third behind Justify in the Kentucky Derby in 2018. The Florida Derby is a key indicator when it comes to producing classic contenders.
