does anyone know what Into Amore (Into Mischief - Embellish the Lace) looked like as a yearling? i didn't know she had RNA'd for so "cheap" ($295,000) until a TDN article pointed that out. you'd expect much more from an Into Mischief out of a G1w winning mare, no...? i could only find stuff for her year older full sister on Twitter. that sister sold for $1,250,000 the year prior, so that kinda tells me she either looked... too Into Mischief-y... or had a shitty vetting.

and she was also the only Embellish the Lace foal to not sell well.

and she was a late vet scratch from what was supposed to be her career debut on Thursday.

3f Run Away, a full sister to MG1W Blackbeard (No Nay Never x Muirin), won her debut today at Yarmouth. From Racing Post:

"The Andrew Balding-trained Run Away is meanwhile a No Nay Never full-sister to Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes winner turned Coolmore sire Blackbeard. She was signed for by Richard Knight for a sale-topping €2.6 million at Goffs Orby in 2022 but was resold privately after the agent’s client didn’t pay and now represents a partnership of David Howden, Qatar Racing and Ecurie des Monceaux."

Batten Down (Tapit x Close Hatches), the 3yo full brother to Tacitus, absolutely dominated the 4th at Churchill, a 1 1/4-mile, $120,000 MSW on the dirt. He went to the front and then increased the lead to win by what looked like double digits.
He looks like a serious horse.

Clever name! Is he gray or bay?

[BaroqueAgain1]

He's grey, and pretty leggy for a Tapit. He is still a bit green (was eyeballing the grandstand all the way down the stretch), so he could get even better.
ETA: Bloodhorse has his Profile up, with two photos from today:

Delighted to read this. I was a fan of Tacitus and his younger brother looks every bit a runner.

Mystic Pleasure (Good Magic x Disposable Pleasure) won an allowance at Churchill today. Her second race back after having a year off after breaking her maiden (not sure what happened to her). Disposable Pleasure was Giacomo's best filly (maybe best foal), horrible name to give a filly I think though....

[CoronadosQuest]

2yo Filly Long Neck Paula (Uncle Mo x MGSW Take Charge Paula) breaks her maiden in race #3 at CD for Wesley Ward.

[BaroqueAgain1]

Castlewarden (Into Mischief x Calm Water), the full brother to Dubai World Cup winner Laurel River, is about to run in the 6th at Churchill, a 7 1/2-furlong Allowance for 3yo+up on the dirt. He is facing a small but quality field, including Shopper's Revenge (Tapit x Stopchargingmaria) and Classic Legacy (Into Mischief x Distorted Legacy).
ETA: Castlewarden and Classic Legacy dueled down the stretch, with Castlewarden just getting his nose in front. Good race between two classy Into Mischief sons.
