Devil May Care, in her first start since finishing 10th in the Kentucky Derby, took the Grade I Mother Goose Stakes Saturday at Belmont. The filly looked to fairly easily hold off Connie and Michael, with graded winner Biofuel rallying to be third in the five of five after a troubled trip.

Devil May Care, 4-for-7 lifetime, was earning her second Grade I win, with the other the Frizette last fall, also at Belmont. The filly's next objective is the Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga on opening weekend, followed by the Alabama in August. In the Alabama, Devil May Care could meet Kentucky Oaks winner Blind Luck, meaning that race could have major divisional implications as a showdown between the best filly from the East and the best from the West.
