The running of the PRK would be getting closer, and while everyone anticipated the start of that, we still had the running of the Grade 2 Dinner Party Stakes to take care of. This is a race that people would recognize as The Dixie Stakes from years past, but the name of the race changed this year.

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.
