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.

The last time Smokey Stover won the race, it was back in 2019, with Tenrikyo. Running just prior to the KYO on the card was the La Troienne, a race won by Tenrikyo and Smokey Stover, so the trainer had to be thinking that would be a good omen for Exactly in this race.
