Mia Mischief, who became Into Mischief 's first Grade 1-winning daughter with a victory in this year's Humana Distaff, will be offered by Elite Sales at the Fasig-Tipton November Sale.

The four-year-old filly is owned by Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, Heider Family Stables, and Madaket Stables.

The Heilgbrodts purchased Mia Mischief as a two-year-old for $300,000 at Fasig-Tipton's Gulfstream Sale out of the McKathan Bros consignment.

She was a pinhook for the McKathans, who acquired her at the 2016 Keeneland September Sale for $135,000 from Vinery Sales, which was acting as agent for the filly's breeder Spendthrift Farm.

"Mia Mischief is a superstar by the hottest stallion in America," said Elite Sales' Bradley Weisbord. "She was a brilliant two-year-old, three-year-old and four-year-old, finishing first or second in 13 of 17 starts. She beat the best and she did it with blazing speed in a devastating style."

Trained for her entire career by Steve Asmussen, Mia Mischief's crowning moment came in the Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs in May, where she defeated a deep field that included Grade 1 winners Marley's Freedom and Spiced Perfection, to win by one and three quarters of a length, earning a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 97.

In her very next start, she defeated subsequent Test Stakes winner, Covfefe, after laying down fractions of :21.38 and :44.41 for a half-mile in the Roxelana Overnight Stakes at Churchill Downs.

Mia Mischief is out of the Speightstown mare Greer Lynn, who is in foal to War Front for 2020.

"Speed is our thing and Mia Mischief is one of the fastest we've ever owned," Bill Heiligbrodt said. "Not only is she fast, but Corinne and I also recognized her as a superior physical, offering size and scope, placing her at the top of our list of Into Mischief offspring.

"We've won two Tests and Mia's nose defeat kept us from our third. Derby day is special; the Humana Distaff is special. We've run numerous superstar fillies in the Humana Distaff and were not able to get it done before Mia. It was a celebration we'll never forget."

Leading sire Into Mischief now has five Grade 1 winners in Goldencents, Practical Joke, Audible, Mia Mischief and Covfefe.
