Daisy Devine Goes Wire-to-Wire in Jenny Wiley
April 14, 2012
By Jason Shandler BloodHorse.com
James Miller’s Daisy Devine, allowed to get away with an easy lead under James Graham, went wire-to-wire in the $300,000 Jenny Wiley (gr. IT) April 14 at Keeneland.
Photo: Anne M. Eberhardt
Trained by Andrew McKeever, the 4-year-old daughter of Kafwain won for the fourth straight time and bagged her first grade I victory at odds of 7-1.
Graham recorded his first grade I win at Keeneland only a week ago when he guided Karlovy Vary to a similar front-running type score in the Central Bank Ashland (gr. I), and was able to give McKeever his first taste of grade I glory with Daisy Devine. The bay filly was bred in Kentucky by J. Reiley McDonald and is out of the Devil’s Bag mare Devil’s Dispute. She was bought for just $5,500 out of the Keeneland September 2009 yearling sale.
Daisy Devine began her winning streak last fall over the same Keeneland turf course when she scored the Pin Oak Valley View (gr. IIIT), and continued her solid form at Fair Grounds when she won a pair of stakes down there, including the Mardi Gras Handicap in February.
With little speed in the race, Graham sent Daisy Devine right to the front and was able to carve out easy fractions in the 1 1/16-mile test. Receiving only mild pressure from Bay to Bay, she posted splits of :25.12, :50.78, and 1:15.35. Bay to Bay and Garrett Gomez chased her all the way around the course, while Heavenly Landing and Tapitsfly were in the next group, and favorites Zagora (7-2) and Aruna (2-1) were at the back.
Daisy Devine cut the corner nicely, held a 1 1/2-length lead at the eighth-pole, and never allowed Bay to Bay to get to her in her one–length triumph. Tapitsfly finished third, followed by Heavenly Landing, Zagora, and Aruna.
The final time on the firm turf was 1:43.21.
The winner improved her record to 7-1-1 from 12 starts and upped her earnings to $758,349. It was her third graded stakes win, the other coming in the Fair Grounds Oaks (gr. IIT) last year.

Running the mile in 1:35.72, this mare has now won seven of her last eight races and has earnings of $290,356. She is out of Southern Solstice, by Southern Halo and was bred in Florida by Jeffery T.

Kafwain Daughter Daisy Devine back to work
By Marcus Hersh DRF.com
Daisy Devine (Kafwain-Devil's Dispute, by Devil's Bag), one of the top older females stabled in New Orleans this winter, is back on a steady work pattern after missing a little time, and is on course to race Feb. 21 in the Mardi Gras Stakes, trainer Andrew McKeever said Wednesday.
Daisy Devine ran her career turf record to 2 for 2 with a dominant win in the Nov. 26 Pago Hop, but until she returned to the work tab on Jan. 16, the filly hadn’t posted a timed workout since that start.
“She came up with a little hiccup, but it was nothing to worry about,” McKeever said. “We just sat chilly for a couple weeks, and everything is perfect.”
While Daisy Devine will remain on turf in the Mardi Gras, she won the Fair Grounds Oaks on dirt last spring and is the rare horse capable of carrying her best form between surfaces. Purchased for $5,500 by owner James Miller, Daisy Devine has earned $533,349.

KAFWAIN FILLY WINS $250,000 REMINGTON PARK OAKS
TOURMALINE, the three-year-old daughter of KAFWAIN, turned in a game performance to win the $250,000 Remington Park Oaks going a mile and one-sixteenth over the main track at Remington Park.
TOURMALINE, broke her maiden at first-asking, winning her career debut at Remington Park in September 2010. She had not competed in Oklahoma City since, instead racing at seven other venues around North America, including a sojourn into Canada.
Owned by the Shawnee, Okla. partnership of Mike Walker and Wayne Ukens, TOURMALINE is trained by Bernell Rhone and was ridden by Dean Butler. The 3-year-old filly showed enough promise early on to warrant the opportunity at stakes races around the continent according to Rhone.
“She proved that she had to try the big girls,” Rhone said. “She has ability and today she showed why she has been in so many stakes races. She ran extremely well and it was a great ride.”
Rhone gave credit to Butler, who happens to be his son-in-law, for getting TOURMALINE home. However, Butler gave all the credit to the winning filly. “She ran a heckuva race. I was able to put us in a good spot and when the pace-setters got tired and started to get out in the stretch, she kept on digging to get by and win.”
TOURMALINE sat just off the pace in third for most of the trip. May Day Rose set the early pace while pressured by 7-5 wagering favorite Savvy Supreme. The quarter-mile splits were: :23.21 for the opening quarter; :46.36 for a half-mile and 1:10.02 for six furlongs. Challenging through the stretch, she clearly had the best finish in the field. She caught the pacesetters with a furlong to run, gettinng by them on the outside to win by half-length. Savvy Supreme was second, a neck better than May Day Rose.
The Remington Park Oaks was the fifth win from 10 starts for TOURMALINE. Produced by the Kris S. mare Career Time, she was bred in Florida by Peachtree Stable. Tourmaline earned $150,000 for the effort to roll her lifetime money up to $258,664.
