Mr. Prankster became the biggest money-winner for It's No Joke with a smashing 7 1/2-length victory in the $50,000 WEBN Stakes at Turfway Park on Feb. 4. The 3-year-old Kentucky-bred colt came from last place in a nine-horse field, took the lead entering the stretch and drew off comfortably under John McKee to collect the winner's check of $29,768. It boosted his earnings to $118,372 on a record of 3-2-0 in six starts.
It marked the second straight stakes victory for Mr. Prankster, who captured the Turfway Prevue Stakes on Jan. 7. He raced the mile in 1:39.18 as the 9/5 favorite.
