Daisy Devine got off to a good start and never looked back in Keeneland's Jenny Wiley Stakes (gr. I), kicking clear at the top of the stretch and holding the closers to win in good fashion.
Ridden to victory by James Graham, Daisy Devine got off to a good beginning and went straight to the lead while rattling off slow fractions of :25.12, :50.78, and 1:15.35. Bay to Bay was racing in second, followed by Heavenly Landing and Tapitsfly. Aruna and Zagora were the early trailers.
As the field made their way around the far turn, Tapitsfly began to move up, as did Aruna. But as they entered the homestretch, Daisy Devine kicked on for home and opened up a clear advantage. Bay to Bay gamely chased her home, but never really threatened for the victory as Daisy Devine held on for victory, stopping the clock for a mile and a sixteenth on turf in 1:43.21.
Tapitsfly finished third, followed by Heavenly Landing, Zagora, and Aruna. The winner is trained by Andrew McKeever.
