Find Out Why Shedaresthedevil, the 15-1 upset winner of last year’s Kentucky Oaks, has been perfect in 4 starts beneath the Twin Spires. Trained by Brad Cox, Shedaresthedevil surpassed $2 million in earnings with a victory in last month’s $300,000 Clement L. Hirsch (G1) at Del Mar. Shedaresthedevil began her career at Churchill Downs in 2019 where she had a 3 1/4-length debut win for trainer Norm Casse. Following a 3-race stint with California-based conditioner Simon Callaghan, she was transferred to Cox in early 2020. The now 4-year-old daughter of Daredevil is 3 for 4 to start her 2021 campaign, including a 1-length score in the $500,000 La Troienne (G1). Jockey Florent Geroux has been aboard Shedaresthedevil for her last 8 starts and will be reunited with the 8-time winner Saturday from post 7. Also entered in the Locust Grove is last year’s $200,000 Falls City (G2) winner Envoutante. Owned by Walking L Thoroughbreds and Three Chimneys Farm and trained by Kenny McPeek, Envoutante finished second to Shedaresthedevil in the La Troienne. Following that race, Envoutante was victorious in the $150,000 Shawnee. The 4-year-old daughter of Uncle Mo has been away from the races since June 26 when she finished third to arguably the nation’s top Distaff contender Letruska in the $300,000 Fleur de Lis (G2). Envoutante has recorded 5 victories through 13 starts with stout purse earnings of $571,438. Brian Hernandez Jr. has the mount from post 5. The field for the Locust Grove from the rail out (with jockey and trainer): Crystal Ball (Tyler Gaffalione, Rodolphe Brisset); High Regard (Rafael Bejarano, Vicki Oliver); Lady Kate (Adam Beschizza, Eddie Kenneally); Matera (Ricardo Santana Jr. Cox); Envoutante (Hernandez, McPeek); Our Super Freak (David Cohen, Cherie DeVaux); and Shedaresthedevil (Geroux, Cox).
