Todd Pletcher starts a trio of runners, including Grade I winner Devil May Care, in a small but select field of five fillies in today's Grade I Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont.

Devil May care broke her maiden at Saratoga and won the Frizette Stakes last fall at Belmont before taking the Bonnie Miss this spring. The filly inspired enough confidence for the connections to take a shot in the Kentucky Derby, a race only three females have won. Devil May Care made a solid move on the far turn but couldn't sustain it, fading back to 10th. She's making her first start since that race eight weeks ago and will have regular rider Johnny Velazquez aboard.

Devil May Care is using the Mother Goose as a springboard into Saratoga's two major prizes for 3-year-old fillies this summer, the Coaching Club American Oaks on July 24 and the Alabama on August 21. A victory today would establish her as the divisional leader in the East heading into the meet, setting up a potential showdown with the West's best filly, Blind Luck, the Kentucky Oaks winner.

Pletcher also sends out stablemates Ailalea, winner of the Dogwood Stakes, and allowance winner Katy Now. The field is completed by Biofuel, a multiple stakeswinner from Canada, and the brilliantly fast Connie and Michael, who is 2-for-3 lifetime with the only loss coming in her second career start in the Juvenile Fillies.
