Maximus Mischief’s top-class filly Irish Maxima got her 12th win in 19 lifetime starts with a handy victory in the July 23 Dashing Beauty S. at Delaware Park.
The 5-year-old has six career stakes wins, topped by by the Ruffian S. (G2) and Distatff S. (G3). Maximus Mischief has 10 stakes horses in 2026, third-most of any Fourth-Crop sire.
After the field scratched from eight to just four horses in the six furlong race, Irish Maxima was under a stout hold as My Magic Wand got the half-mile in :45.65. The pacesetter offered little resistance as Irish Maxima took command in upper stretch. With a measured ride by Frankie Pennington, Irish Maxima won by a comfortable 1 ¼-lengths.
Irish Maxima is owned by Irish Three Racing LLC and has earned $846,318. The bay 5-year-old was bred by Pillar Property Services Inc. and is out of the stakes winner Palace Pier.
