Tale of Ekati ran well behind Ready's Image and bucked his shins that day, his training indicates that he's back. I liked Mythical Pegasus' game maiden win. As for Kowboy, well he looks like a sprinter but 7f is still a sprint. He's shown ability to pass horses and even though he's by Posse, his damsire is Coronado's Quest who won a pair of G1 routes, including the 10f Travers.

For those of you who like to analyze the quality of two year-old races by the performances of the also-rans in their next starts, here is what the runners from that August 11th heat did next out:

THE LEOPARD- Futurity BEL 9/15
IMMORTAL EYES- 2nd MSW BEL 9/7
LEGACY THIEF- OTB MSW BEL 9/8
SAADA- 1st MSW SAR 9/1
AQUARIAN- 3rd MSW BEL 9/8
BIG STICK- 3rd MSW DEL 9/8
VERIFY- OTB MSW BEL 9/7
LIEUTENANT- 2nd MSW(T) BEL 9/13
SHIP'S PIANO- OTB MSW(T) SAR 8/29
WORKING MAN BLUES- UNRACED

Just a bit of information for those of you who might have liked to have it, but didn't see the legwork as worthwhile.
