Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 9, 2022 Journalists Posted June 9, 2022 John Oxley's DEVIOUS DAME (f, 2, Girvin–The Shady Lady, by Quality Road) looked to be making hard work of it while consigned to an imperfect trip in Thursday's $150,000 Astoria S. at Belmont Park, but the 2-5 favorite leveled off nicely when asked to claim pacesetting Alexis's Storm (Race Day) passing the eighth pole and glided clear to become the first black-type winner for her freshman sire (by Tale of Ekati). Away only fairly from the five hole, the $240,000 OBS March breezer was last for a few strides not long after the start and raced in fourth spot, three wide and busily ridden, through the middle stages. Finding her best stride as they reached the quarter pole, Devious Dame steadily reeled in her front-running rival and cruised under the line to score unextended. Alexis's Storm held second ahead of Girl Bye (Cajun Breeze) in third. The time for the 5 1/2 furlongs on a strip labeled fast was 1:04.75. Sales history: $240,000 2yo '22 OBSMAR. O-John C Oxley; B-Ocala Stud, Joseph M O'Farrell & David O'Farrell (FL); T-Norm Casse.
