Flay said that Pizza Bianca’s Into Mischief filly will likely join his racing stable in the future.
“In my conventional business model, which there is really no such thing when it comes to this business but especially with these big pedigrees that I own, it’s to sell the colts and race the fillies,” he said. “If you ask me today what I’m going to do with the Into Mischief, it’s to race her. It’s the first foal and she’s beautiful. If she does something good, she could really solidify the mare’s place in the world.”

The Ringer – Hannah Keyser – The Phillies Were the Hunters. Now They’re the Hunted.
The initial ruling by the stewards was that Ceballos had violated racing rules by using the crop on Alotaluck 11 times, which would be five times over the limit. But in overturning that ruling, administrative law judge D. Michael Chappell determined that seven of those strikes should not have counted as they were administered to prevent the horse from lugging out, which meant they fell under a safety exception.
