2025 Omaha Beach - Mischievous Mind Individual Foal

Why We Bought This Horse

• Mischievous Mind was covered on May 3, 2024, by Omaha Beach and Wasabi purchased her at the November 2024 Keeneland auction.   Our anticipation is that this foal will be Kentucky-bred.
• This is a 2024-2025 Individual Foal Offering and is subject to the WVS Individual Foal Program Addendum to the Wasabi Ventures Stables Thoroughbred Management Agreement.   
•   Highlights of the program:
  • Fixed Price on the Offering - No Ongoing Bills
  • Limited Exposure - Like WVS Racing Programs, there is no chance for Future Expenses. If the Foal offering loses money, WVS absorbs those costs
  • Finite Time - The Foal Offering will be liquidated at the time of his/her weaning from the mare, so you know when an offering ends.  Because you are not buying the mare, you have a finite time period of commitment (e.g. 6 to 18 months)
  • Reduced Risk - WVS will only open a Foal Offering once a mare has checked in foal to the chosen stallion
  • Perpetual Breeders Bonuses - Even after the foal is sold, a Club member can continue to earn breeding bonuses for the racing life of the horse.

Mischievous Mind was bred and raced by the historic Phipps Stable, and her 4th dam is the unbeaten Eclipse Champion, Breeders' Cup winner, Hall of Famer and Broodmare of the Year Personal Ensign!

Placed as a 2YO and sired by Eclipse Champion Runhappy, Mischievous Mind is a half-sister to the Grade 3 winner and Grade 1-placed Performer, and to the black-type winner and multiple Graded Stakes-placed Breaking the Rules, as well as the six-figure earner Bombs Away from all her dam's other foals of racing age (there's still a Blame colt of '24 to come).

Mischievous Mind's dam, Protesting (by AP Indy), was a winner each year from 2YO through 4YO and finished 2nd in the Grade 2 Demoiselle Stakes as a juvenile on her way to earning over $200k.  Protesting, in turn, is out of the Grade 3-placed On Parade (by Storm Cat), who was also the dam of Grade 2 winner and sire Parading, Grade 3-placed Parade (dam of promising '24 runner Pentathlon), and the black-type producers Viva La Flag, Gloat and Coming Attraction.

On Parade was a full-sister to the unbeaten, Eclipse Champion 2YO filly Storm Flag Flying (who is the ancestress of Graded winners Jouster and Dynamic One), and a half-sister to black-type winner With Flying Colors (dam of Grade 3 winner Teresa Z).  Another half-sister is the dam of black-type winner and Travers Stakes-G1 3rd Miles D.

On Parade is out of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies-G1 winner My Flag (by Easy Goer), who was one of three Grade 1 winners out of Personal Ensign -- the others being Miner's Mark and Traditionally.  Personal Ensign was also the dam of Grade 1-placed Our Emblem (who sired Eclipse Champion and Kentucky Derby-G1 winner War Emblem), and Grade 2-placed Salute (who was the dam of Grade 1 winner and sire Mr Speaker, Grade 3 winners Fire Away and Vigilantes Way, and of current steeplechase star Snap Decision (also Graded placed on the flat)).

So this is a huge female family, if not the deepest in the stud book, and with Mischievous Mind being only a 3YO and carrying her first foal by the brilliant multiple Grade 1 winner and the leading 2nd crop sire Omaha Beach, she will have plenty of time and opportunities to add to this amazing Phipps female family legacy!

As for that in utero foal by Omaha Beach, because he is a son of War Front, that will make this foal very closely related to Mischievous Mind's aforementioned half-brother Breaking the Rules, who is also by War Front.
