Just Be Kind came on late to just get up going five panels here Aug. 6, but was dismissed at 6-1 despite having earned a field's best 69 Beyer Speed Figure for that effort. Second last and in between rivals in the early going, the bay tugged up four deep to take closer order around the bend. Scrubbed on for more as favored Let It Ride Mom took over turning for home, Just Be Kind chipped away at the chalk's advantage in the run to the line before galloping out very far in front. The winner's dam was bred to Euroears earlier this year.
