PLEASANT ACRES STALLION PRESS RELEASE (EDITED)
MORRISTON, FL—Pleasant Acres Stallions announced the arrival of Doppelganger’s first foal—a filly out of Saucy Dame, by Distorted Humor.
Born Friday morning, the filly is owned by David Perrine of Perrine Time Thoroughbreds.
“The bloodline this filly is blessed with is exceptional,” Director of Stallion Services Christine Jones said. “There is so much black type on the dam side that we can’t even mention it all. I am confident this foal is going to be a force.”
The foal’s second dam is multiple stakes-winner Storm Beauty, by Storm Cat, an earner of $178,164 and winner of the Listed Miss Preakness at Pimlico and the $49,500 Wilma C. Kennedy at Ellis Park. Storm Beauty is the dam of four-time black-type winner and Grade 2-placed Stormy West and Grade 3-winner Buffum.
Doppelganger is the only Grade 1-winning son of Into Mischief standing in the United States not standing in Kentucky.
He broke his maiden in his first start as a juvenile and was second in the Grade 2 San Felipe and third in the Grade 3 Affirmed, both at Santa Anita, during his 3-year-old season. As a 4-year-old, Doppelganger took the Grade 1 Carter Handicap presented by NYRA Bets at Belmont Park and the $136,500 Battery Park at Delaware Park.
Doppelganger is out of the multiple graded stakes-placed, stakes-winner Twice the Lady, by Quiet American.
Doppelganger stands in Florida at Pleasant Acres Stallions for a $10,000 fee.
