It may or may not be a glimpse into the KYO trail for next year, but Saturday at CD, we saw a group of two year old fillies who are showing plenty of potential early in the careers go at in the Pocahontas.

The race last year ran for a $550.000 purse, but will now be one of the $1,000.000 races that are run here on Saturday.
