Background
Pretty Mischievous is a bay mare who was bred and is owned by Godolphin in Kentucky. Pretty Mischievous is out of the Tapit mare Pretty City Dancer, dead-heat winner of the 2016 Grade I Spinaway Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. Michael Banahan, director of bloodstock for Godolphin in the USA noted that Godolphin had a pairing with Into Mischief in mind in going to US$3.5 million to purchase her at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky November Sale, where she was consigned by Taylor Made Sales Agency. Stroud Coleman Bloodstock signed the ticket.{{cite web |first=Frank |last=Angst |title=Pretty Mischievous Scores First Oaks for Godolphin; Trainer Walsh and jockey Gaffalione each secure their first Kentucky Oaks (G1) win. |url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/268404/pretty-mischievous-scores-first-oaks-for-godolphin |website=bloodhorse.com |date=May 5, 2023 |access-date=6 May 2023}}
