The four-year-old filly Genuine Devotion (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}–Starlight Dreams, by Black Tie Affair {Ire}) found the wire in time to notch her fourth straight victory, and first graded race, in Sunday's GIII Locust Grove H. on the sod at Churchill Downs. Owned by James Barry, she ended 2007 with a tally in the Xtra Heat H. sprinting on Belmont's lawn in October, then returned to win the Upper Noosh S. over that course May 17. Always in the mix in the Locust Grove, Genuine Devotion opened a clear lead in the stretch and dug in as Brownie Points (Forest Wildcat) came flying. Lifetime Record: 8-5-0-0, $264,564.
