Pretty Mischievous (foaled March 30, 2020) is a Champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who in 2023 won the Grade I Kentucky Oaks and Test Stakes.
Background Pretty Mischievous is a bay mare who was bred and is owned by Godolphin in Kentucky. Pretty Mischievous is out of the Tapit mare Pretty City Dancer, dead-heat winner of the 2016 Grade I Spinaway Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. Michael Banahan, director of bloodstock for Godolphin in the USA noted that Godolphin had a pairing with Into Mischief in mind in going to US$3.5 million to purchase her at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November Sale, where she was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. Stroud Coleman Bloodstock signed the ticket.
Pretty Mischievous's sire Into Mischief, stands at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky for $250,000 (2023).
Pretty Mischievous is trained by the Irish-born trainer Brendan P. Walsh.
After a successful three-year-old campaign Pretty Mischievous was awarded Eclipse Award as the U.S. Champion Three-Year-Old Filly for 2023.
