Practical Joke’s Devious Stares Scores On Debut At Turfway

5th-Turfway, $68,250, Msw, 1-1, 3yo, f, 6f (AWT), 1:11.30, ft, 5 lengths.

DEVIOUS STARES (f, 3, Practical Joke–Yankee Bright, by Elusive Quality), sent away as the 7-2 third choice behind favored Juddmonte homebred Friction (Into Mischief), endured a wide trip from her outside gate, racing in fifth as Lanetta (Mastery) paced the field through a quarter in :22.64. Ridden hard by jockey Kent Desormeaux into the far turn while four wide, she powered to the front with all the momentum, stormed by late leader and eventual runner up, 21-1 shot Popnfizz (Hard Spun), and drew off nicely to win by five lengths. Out of a half-sister to GSP Isn't He Clever (Smarty Jones), GSW & GISP Adventist (Any Given Saturday), GSW Dijeerr (Danzig), and GSP Sharp Writer (Capote), Devious Stares has a pair of full-siblings–a 2-year-old filly and a yearling colt. Yankee Bright returned to Practical Joke for yet another full-sibling in 2023. Sales History: $170,000 Wlg '20 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.
