Into Mischief’s newest TDN Rising Star Cannoneer in his own league
November 30, 2025
Cannoneer outclassed a strong field of 2-year-old maidens Saturday at Churchill Downs, rolling home a 7 ¼-length winner to become Into Mischief’s 58th lifetime TDN Rising Star.
The bay colt was in charge from the outset of the seven-furlong contest. In hand through a half-mile of :45.34, Cannoneer lengthened his stride turning for home and rocketed away from the competition, widening with every stride to win full of run.
The final time over the fast track was a very swift 1:21.63, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 89.
Cannoneer is owned by St. Elias Stable and Stonestreet Stables LLC, the latter also his breeder. The duo teamed up to buy Cannoneer for $1.75 million at the 2024 Keeneland September Yearling sale.
Cannoneer is out of the Malibu Moon mare Catch the Moon, who is the dam of four graded stakes winners: Girvin, Midnight Bourbon, Cocked and Loaded, and Pirate’s Punch.
