Lisa's Kitten, the odds-on favorite at even money, covered the mile over a soft turf course in 1.39 4/5.

Kera's Kitten took the lead into the first turn and widened its margin of victory down the stretch against 10 other two-year-old colts.Time for the mile was 1.39 3/5. An ecstatic Ramsey said after the race he will ship Kera's Kitten to Santa Anita for the 2009 Breeders' Cup.
