James Miller’s Daisy Devine, winner of last season’s
Grade II Fair Grounds Oaks after finishing second by a neck in last year’s
Silverbulletday Stakes, worked five furlongs Monday in 1:02.80 in preparation for Fair Grounds’
$75,000 Mardi Gras Stakes for older fillies and mares over the
Stall-Wilson turf course Feb. 21.
“She’s doing good,” said trainer
Andy McKeever Wednesday morning during training hours. “She’s in good shape now.”
Asked
if the upcoming $75,000 Tiffany Lass Stakes for older fillies and mares
on the main track Feb. 11 remained a possibility for Daisy Devine,
McKeever said, “No, I think we’ll stick to the turf for now.”
