KID PERFECT
Trainer: Ken McPeek
Last race: Aug. 6, 1st
Finish: 5th by 10

First-time starter was packed away at the back of the field along the hedge in race that was dominated on the front end. He came clear at the top of the stretch and put in a game run without threat.

NEOLITHIC
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Last race: Aug. 6, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 3
Beyer: 98
Has a chance to be a good one after return from layoff in tough spot vs. the fast Summer Revolution, where he came with a good run through the stretch after a slow start.

Got very unlucky when stymied in traffic throughout turf route without getting a chance to run. Galloped out well in front of solid field of turf maidens.

Trainer: Chad Brown
Last race: Aug. 6, 6th
Finish: 8th by 13 1/4
Beyer: 45
Got bet on debut, but had an eventful trip, getting bumped at the break and then again while forced in and to the back of the field. Got held up in traffic all through the turn and was unable to get a run started. Likely to go a lot better second time out.
