Kentucky Derby BRIS Speed Rating Report: Kentucky Jockey Club

James Scully

November 29th, 2017

Enticed and Tiz Mischief didn’t earn a big number, both registering a 93 BRIS Speed rating, but there’s still some positives to take away from their 1-2 finish in the November 25 Kentucky Jockey Club (G2) at Churchill Downs.

The pace was slow and the winner didn’t receive an ideal trip when being severely bumped on the first turn. Enticed gamely withstood his fast-closing rival by a short head to record his first stakes victory and the well-bred Medaglia d’Oro colt looks like the type who will only continue to improve with racing experience for Kiaran McLaughlin.

Tiz Mischief is going to be at the mercy of slow paces given his complete lack of tactical speed and dropped far back in the early stages of the Kentucky Jockey Club while eventual third-placer Promises Fulfilled had everything his own way up front. After displaying a visually-impressive late kick to break his maiden in the previous outing, the son of Into Mischief offered another dynamic turn of foot in his stakes debut Saturday and the Dale Romans pupil is eligible to keep showing more next year with further development.

The 1 1/16-mile Kentucky Jockey Club marked the sixth of 35 U.S. stakes races in the 2017-18 Road to the Kentucky Derby series and we’ll continue to review the BRIS Speed ratings earned in qualifiers for the Run for the Roses.
