Brad Cox, his trainer, had enrolled him into the competition with minimal anticipation, aiming to explore his latent potential. Cristian Torres, his jockey, was previously unacquainted with the horse. “He was perfect. The trip worked out perfect. Kendrick went to the lead, and I sat two-wide the whole race–that’s where he runs comfortable,” stated Torres. Furthermore, his sire, Mischievous Alex, exhibited competence but not preeminence as a racehorse. However, Everso Mischievous exhibited an inherent mischievous spirit, surpassing all foreseen prospects and is sure to be a formidable star in the making.
