Breeders are smitten with ENGAGE! The son of the nation’s seven-time champion sire INTO MISCHIEF is riveting. Delivering pure speed in a powerful package, ENGAGE represents the highly successful cross of INTO MISCHIEF with SPEIGHTSTOWN mares, which has yielded such Gr. 1-winning sprinters as MIA MISCHIEF and MISCHEVIOUS ALEX. ENGAGE competed at the top level of sprint competition throughout his 19-start career. One of seven yearlings sold, all for six figures, out of stakes-placed Nefertiti, he brought $550,000 at 2 and scored by daylight in Belmont’s Gr. 3 Futurity that fall. At 4 he was Breeders’ Cup bound after winning Keeneland’s Gr. 2 Phoenix S. over eventual Eclipse Award-winning sprinter Whitmore and finished fourth in that year’s Gr. 1 Sprint. Highlights during a seven-race streak of firsts or seconds from 2 to 3, all in New York, included a score in Belmont’s 6-fur. Gold Fever S. in 1:09 and change, and seconds in the Woody Stephens-G2, Bay Shore-G3 and Amsterdam-G3. The $802,780-earner covered an average of 70 mares in each of his first three seasons! The leading freshman sire in the region in 2025, his winners include multiple stakes-placed filly Vita Mia.
