Mr. Prankster keyed a 1-2 finish by Stonewall Farm stallions in the $50,000 Turfway Prevue Stakes at Turfway Park on Jan. 7. The 3-year-old colt by It's No Joke took the top prize of $28,830 from Magical Season, a son of Value Plus.
Mr. Prankster scored by 3 1/2 lengths as the 6/5 favorite, coming from mid-pack under John McKee to record his first stakes victory. The Kentucky-bred colt was timed in 1:18.96 for the 6 1/2 furlongs and increased his bank account to $88,612 on a record of 2-2-0 in five starts. He had previously finished second in the Fitz Dixon Memorial Juvenile at Presque Isle in October.
