The piece profiles Spendthrift Farm’s Into Mischief, a high-priced, high-impact sire who has produced three Kentucky Derby winners and fuels a Derby-focused breeding operation that covers hundreds of mares each season; it also highlights the farm’s pedigree-driven approach, the success of his offspring like Renegade and Further Ado in this year’s Derby, and the ongoing legacy of Into Mischief in American racing.
Renegade, a come-from-behind Arkansas Derby winner by Into Mischief trained by Todd Pletcher and ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr., drew the rail as the 4-1 morning-line favorite for Kentucky Derby 152 at Churchill Downs in a 20-horse field. The lineup includes co-second choices Commandment and Further Ado for Brad Cox, with other notables like Litmus Test, Potente, and Chief Wallabee also slated to run. Repole Stable’s Mike Repole voiced confidence in Renegade’s inside post and late kick, while Cox discussed how post positions and pace could shape the race.
