+PERFECT KAY (f, 2, Kantharos–Perfect Maria, by Maria's Mon) was hammered down to 4-5 favoritism for this unveiling off a pair of sharp half-mile works over this strip. Away well, the gray was hard pressed by Faith 'n Works (Hear No Evil), who remained glued to her shoulder through an opening quarter in :22.70. Edging away from that rival approaching the far turn, the $115,000 OBSAPR buy sailed further clear in the stretch under a hand ride from Cornelio Velasquez to win by two lengths. Lirica (Kantharos) came charging late to beat out Faith 'n Works for second. The winner is the second foal out of Perfect Maria and the first to make it to the races. Perfect Maria, a full-sister to stakes winners Cauy and Maria's Image, also has a yearling colt named Charlie's Cousin (With Distinction). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
