Honest Mischief: New York’s Rising Star

Honest Mischief: New York’s Rising Star

August 16, 2023 Posted by Clark Shepherd Blog, Bloodstock

The world of breeding and racing has seen its fair share of remarkable names, and now Honest Mischief is quickly establishing itself as one of the most notable in recent years.

Superior Bloodline of Honest Mischief

Originating from the esteemed Into Mischief, Honest Mischief’s pedigree reads like a who’s who in the breeding world. He descends from the Grade 1 stakes champion, Honest Lady, and is intricately linked to racing legends such as Empire Maker and Grade 1 standout, Chester House.

His racing achievements further add to his allure. With significant wins at places like Keeneland and Churchill Downs, Honest Mischief’s track records spell potential and promise for his offspring.

Making His Mark at Fasig-Tipton

The 2023 Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Yearling Sale saw Honest Mischief take a significant leap in affirming his legacy. His stats from the sale are truly impressive:

  • Total Yearlings Sold: 12
  • Combined Sales Amount: $896,000
  • Average Sale Price: $74,667
  • Median Sale Price: $58,500
  • Unsold Yearlings: 1

Furthermore, Honest Mischief created history by being the first New York stallion since Dublin in 2014 to have multiple yearlings from his debut crop at the New York-Bred sale fetch more than $100,000. An astounding five of his yearlings sold for over this six-figure mark.

One of the highlights of his offerings was Hip 314, a filly with lineage tied to the legendary Kentucky Derby winner, Rich Strike. Shepherd Equine Advisers secured this beauty for International Equine at a handsome sum of $100,000. Clark Shepherd articulated his admiration for the consistency observed in the physical attributes and the walks of Honest Mischief’s yearlings.

Honest Mischief Standing Proud in Hudson, NY

Honest Mischief is currently standing stud at Sequel Stallions New York, Hudson, NY. His 2023 stud fee is pegged at a competitive $6,500 for a live foal (stands and nurses). Given his recent performance at auctions, this represents a lucrative opportunity for breeders looking for a promising sire.

A Bright Future Ahead

Carlos Manresa, Sequel’s director of operations, and many others believe that the best is yet to come for Honest Mischief. The undeniable excitement around his first generation of yearlings, coupled with his own impressive lineage, suggests a bright future in breeding and racing.

Drawing parallels with Into Mischief, particularly regarding physical attributes, Honest Mischief stands out as a notable stallion, expected to sire dominant 2-year-olds.

In Conclusion: The Beginning of an Era

Honest Mischief is more than just a name. He signifies the dawn of a new era in New York’s breeding and racing history. As his offspring prepare to carve their own legacies, the racing community eagerly anticipates their impact. Given his illustrious background and the potential of his yearlings, Honest Mischief is poised to become a force to be reckoned with.
