EKATI’S PHAETON (f, 2, Tale of Ekati–Seventh Veil, by Capote) squeaked out a nose-victory on debut over track and trip Aug. 9, and was pounded down to 8-5 favoritism at the windows for this reappearance. The dark bay grabbed the lead under heavy pressure from My Miss Venezuela (Hold Me Back) to her outside early. She got the better of that foe–who swung wide into the straight–and extended her advantage to 10 1/4 lengths at the wire. My Miss Venezuela was a game runner-up.
