The Elite Racing club gathers at virtual Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky for it’s rendering of the Into Mischief stakes. A field of eight freshman runners, including an upset minded filly, will battle at a mile and a sixteenth over a wet racing strip. This will be club members’ first stakes race look at some possible three year old classic races contenders for spring 2027. All the top trainers have an entrant, so it should be a cracking good race.
.
The annual club trainer’s championship is still in play, although harrylan has a leg up on the rest, holding a six point lead on jbcri09, who has a slim two point advantage on dunnvilledowns, who in turn has a slim two point edge on dontbetonme, with summerset seven back of that in fifth place. The winning trophy presentation will take place immediately after the race, and the club will party from then until asked to leave.
.
Harrylan has entered two time winner NOT THIS PARADOX, and amir1767 also enters a two time winner, EXQUISITE KNIGHT. Summerset sends out the only three time winner, ENTRY DENIAL, while jbcri09 has the final two time winner, JASPER HUNTER going to the post. Dontbetonme has GALACTIC CITIZEN primed for a big effort, as does bigzstables, who goes with WAR CURLIN. Dunnvilledowns will be represented by MYSTIC SENSE, and lastly yours truly will have a fast filly going against the boys, BUGLE THE DEEP.

NOT THIS PARADOX……..KY…… 2M……harrylanlow3
.
Not This Time nipper, out of the graded placed sim mare Club Curlin ( by Curlin x Danzig ), has romped in his last two outings, an open maiden at 7.5 furlongs with a 90 SP# and an open allowance at a mile with a 91 SP#, running off with both by five plus lengths. Burly brown colt was a bit green for his racing debut, but had a nice 79 SP# closing from the back of the pack over a wet track, which he sees here. Harrylanlow3 runner is the co-top entry point entrant; looks like the extra distance will help, solid contender trying to solidify his trainer’s championship standing.

EXQUISITE KNIGHT……….KY…… 2M……amir1767
.
Bruising bay colt comes off a stretch running victory in a NW2L allowance at a mile, smacking an 88 SP# from the back of the pack. One prior to that was a late running score in an open maiden at seven panels, sticking an 84 SP# from well back in the pack. Arabian Knight athlete, (by Will Take Charge x More Than Ready) had two earlier efforts in the spring, both closing runs while not hitting the board. Rated as tied for the entry point nod, this amir1767 runner should be a stretch factor; another solid contender.

ENTRY DENIAL……………..NY……. 2G……..rac1
.
Our only three time winner is this bouncing bay gelding, who exits a NW3L allowance at six furlongs, getting up at the wire in a last to first performance for an 83 SP#. War Of Will whippersnapper ( by Maximum Security x Justify ) is just a head from being undefeated in his first four starts, while improving his SP#’s along the way. Stretching out two and a half furlongs here for the summerset racing group, he’s held as the third entry point rated contestant, but others look better at this trip – but his record can’t be ignored.

GALACTIC CITIZEN………..KY……2M……. dontbetonme8
.
Bay Citizen Bull colt out of the G1 winning sim mare Idaan (by Galileo x A.P. Indy) comes off a stalking third in a NW2L allowance at eight furlongs, pasting an 87 SP# in his first try against winners. In his previous outing he ran off with an open maiden at seven panels, plastering a 91 SP# while never far off the pace setters. One back of that was an even fifth in his debut in an open maiden at seven-eighths of a mile, pushing an 81 SP#. Dontbetonme protege may be able to get the jump on the deep closers turning for home, but can he hold on through the lane.

WAR CURLIN……………….NZ…… 2M…….abigzstables3
.
Gleaming chestnut colt was second best most recently in a NW2L allowance at a mile, banking an 87 SP# in an even paced effort. War Decree wrangler, out of the sim mare Fixed Odds ( by Curlin x Bernardini ) tired to fifth in a NW2L allowance at five and a half panels one back of that, bagging a 77 SP#. He got his first win in his debut in an open maiden at six furlongs, blasting an 84 SP# in a pace pressing performance. Runner from the abigzstables3 racing operation may be part of the early pace scenarios, but can he hold off the late runners coming down the straight ?

JASPER HUNTER………….NY…… 2M……. jbcri28
.
Splendid chestnut colt was a gaining second last out in a NW2L allowance at seven furlongs, grabbing a 79 SP# in a four horse affair. Disarm colt, out of the grade three winning sim mare Spritual Freedom ( by Mineshaft x Unbridled ) wired a NW1x allowance in his, also at seven panels, garnering an 81 SP# against three foes. He broke his maiden in his prior run in an open maiden at seven furlongs, getting a 78 SP# in a just off the pace trip. Runner from the jbcri28 barn should be prominent from the start, eligible to go on with it with some expected improvement.

BUGLE THE DEEP…………KY……. 2F……..ric480
.
Lovely light grey filly swamped a field of maidens by eight and a quarter lengths at eight and a quarter furlongs in her second outing, crushing a 90 SP# over a sloppy track. Maximus Mischief miss out of the sim mare The Day Will Come (by Tapit x Storm Cat) ran out of ground in her debut at six furlongs in an open maiden, also over an off track, copping an 80 SP# from back in the pack. She got the off track her trainer was hoping for in this event; tries the boys early in her career, handicapper rates her third choice on the tote.

MYSTIK SENSE…………….KY……. 2M……..mapleleafdowns
Dunnvilledowns sends out this boisterous bay colt, who showed sharp improvement breaking his maiden at a mile, drilling a 93 SP# in a last to first performance. Cody’s Wish cutter, based on the sim he-mare Street Sunse (by Street Sense x War Front )just missed one before that in an open allowance at six and a half panels, dropping a 76 SP# with a late stretch surge. He showed some good late foot one back of that in the same condition with a 71 SP#. Late running colt not helped by post position, but should be a stretch threat off latest effort.

Good luck everybody, and may they all come home, fast, safe and sound.

Our fearless leader and co-founder with amir1605, jbcri09 had decided to relinquish the reins of the residency over to dunnvilledowns after thirteen years at the helm. Most of our members came over to Derby Fever from another horse racing game, and most have stayed loyal to our membership. Thank you, jb, for all you’ve done for ERC over the years and you should be proud of your and our accomplishments. See you at the race tracks.
Here’s best wishes for the future to dunnvilledowns. You’ve got some big shoes to fill, but we are sure you’ll acquit yourself quite well !
Great write Ric as usual. Good luck to all.
Thanks ric for another entertaining & informative write up. Good luck to all!
