WHAT a couple of days it was for leading American sire Into Mischief (Harlan’s Holiday), and for Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky where the six-time reigning champion stallion stands.

On Saturday, the farm’s homebred Tommy Jo (Into Mischief) won the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes for fillies at Saratoga, the first top-flight juvenile contest of the year in the USA, and two days later Ted Noffey (Into Mischief) took the colt’s Hopeful Stakes, ironically sponsored by Spendthrift.
