He is not retired yet , planning on making a start soon , and hoping to be able to run in one of the Breeders Cup undercard races. He had a minor setback when we shipped from Del -Mar got a lil case of shipping fever, but he has been back galloping about 6 days and will most likely work here soon.

The difference between the two though, however, is that IC came about as a result of someone having sent the only decent mare ever sent to INXS. Now, as for Into Mischief, he's due to race back soon, but is listed as a stallion at Spendthrift???? That is odd. |

![]() All three of these horses graduated from 2yo in training sales.
Tiz Wonderful posted a sales record 20.60 quarter mile at Fasig Tipton Calder. His stride length measurement of 27+ feet was also the longest of any horse that year. Forest Music was the only other horse I ever remember running a 20 and change quarter at the Calder sale. She won her debut nicely with a 107 Beyer figure - and was rushed into the BC Juvenile fillies out west a few weeks later in start #2 and was eased. Ended up being a multiple Graded Stakes winning sprinter who would set strong paces and always stagger home. Tiz Wonderful is the best athlete that Tiznow has thrown. It will be interesting to see how he does as a sire. He was a huge horse who struggled badly around turns. He looked like he was making hard work of it in his debut at Saratoga - and suddenly won by 15 with something like a 98 Beyer with a monster finish. In the two-turn stake he ran at 2 - it looked like Any Given Saturday had him put away on the turn - and he turned him back in the stretch. Into Mischief came out of the same sale (obs mar) and same small consignment (M & H) that Japan's 2yo champ Goshawk Ken and Santa Anita Derby favorite El Gato Malo came out of. Notional was from Barretts March. |
