MATING SUGGESTIONS: Practical Joke played a significant role in helping his sire Into Mischief’s transformation from cheap stallion to multiple champion sire. Practical Joke became his sire’s second G1SW when he landed the Hopeful Stakes and progressed to win the G1 Champagne. He also proved hard to beat around one turn as a 3YO, taking the G3 Dwyer and then the G1 H. Allen Jerkens. Now Practical Joke is establishing himself as one of America’s premier speed sires. Seventeen of Into Mischief’s G1 winners are from MR PROSPECTOR line mares, with Practical Joke representing Into Mischief’s flourishing partnership with Distorted Humor mares. However, MR PROSPECTOR is back in the fifth generation of Practical Joke’s foals, so there is ample scope to add extra lines. His G1 Santa Anita Derby winner Practical Move is out of a mare by AFLEET ALEX , also sire of the 2nd dam of his G1-placed 2YO Laurent. Into Mischief also has BTWs out of mares by GONE WEST ’s sons MR GREELEY, ELUSIVE QUALITY, GRAND SLAM, SPEIGHTSTOWN and PROUD CITIZEN , doing especially well with daughters of SPEIGHTSTOWN (18% BTWs). He also has a G3SW with a dam by ELUSIVE QUALITY ’s son QUALITY ROAD. Practical Joke already has BTWs out of daughters of ELUSIVE QUALITY (2), SPEIGHTSTOWN (2) and PROUD CITIZEN , along with Gr.3 winner He’s Not Joking from a mare by Speightstown’s son CENTRAL BANKER .

There are also G1SWs with dams by EMPIRE MAKER (2) and UNBRIDLED’S SONG , as well as another from the FAPPIANO branch out of a QUIET AMERICAN mare. Into Mischief owes two G1-winning 2YOs of 2025 to mares from this line, with Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner Ted Noffey being out of a grand-daughter of UNBRIDLED’S SONG , while Spinaway S. winner Tommy Jo has a dam by PIONEEROF THE NILE. Into Mischief’s G2SW Barnes is his first starter out of a mare by AMERICAN PHAROAH.

Practical Joke has achieved 20% BTWs with daughters of SCAT DADDY , notably siring Richi, winner of the G2 Santa Maria S., and Mufasa, winner of the G3 Vosburgh S. Daughters of JUSTIFY are a likeable option for Practical Joke.
