Perfect Class Lives Up to Her Name in Edgewood
Perfect Class was a star on the turf, and among her wins included a pair of Grade 3’s. That would prompt trainer Sccj Stables to give KYO preps a try, and she actually did run very well against good company in the Davona Dale. At the end of the day, she would not be able to make the KYO, but like Lassitude in the Eight Belles, it didn’t keep her from running at CD on KYO Day.
Beautiful Rail Trip Helps Lassitude Win Eight Belles
It wasn’t the KYO for Lassitude, a filly who finished in the middle of the field in multiple preps for the bigger race run here on Friday, but she would not let that ruin her day. Lassitude still made it to CD on this day, running in the Eight Belles instead, meaning that she was going to cut back on her distance to seven furlongs but that would not be too far off from what she had been running.

Increased Purse Makes Eight Belles One of KYO Day Highlights
When it first appeared on the schedule, the Eight Belles was not one of those races that generated a ton of excitement. It was a smaller Grade 3, running for a $100.000 purse. It stayed there for many years, but even when it did increase, the intervals were small. In 2020, it would be jump to $300.000, and now look it at today.
Perfect Class and Tequa Showdown Highlights Edgewood
Like the Eight Belles, the Edgewood has grown quite a bit since it first appeared on the schedule. In 2004, the race appeared as an ungraded stake for $100.000 and would become graded for the first time in 2015. It’s purse was gradually increased around that time, but now for the first time the Edgewood will run for $500.000!
