A competitive six-furlong maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies at Ellis Park on August 23 features a notable matchup between two full sisters of Breeders’ Cup winners. Elite, trained by Rodolphe Brisset and bred by Peter E. Blum Thoroughbreds, is a daughter of Into Mischief out of Flawless, making her a full sibling to 2020 Horse of the Year Authentic. Elite has shown promising morning workouts at Keeneland, signaling early potential. Jockey Luan Machado will ride her from post 6.

Her rival, Fashion Designer, trained by Brad Cox, is a full sister to four-time Grade 1 winner and 2021 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile champion Life Is Good. Owned by Gary and Mary West, Fashion Designer has been training at Keeneland and Churchill Downs, posting strong workouts. Tyler Gaffalione will pilot her from the outside post 12. This intriguing sibling showdown highlights the strength of Into Mischief’s progeny and the promising future of these well-bred fillies.
