Pretty Mischievous (foaled March 30, 2020) is a Champion American Thoroughbred racehorse who in 2023 won the Grade I Kentucky Oaks and Test Stakes.

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}}

Pretty Mischievous's sire Into Mischief, stands at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky for $250,000 (2023).

Pretty Mischievous is trained by the Irish-born trainer Brendan P. Walsh.
