Remembering a Perfect Day
“It was nearly a year ago that Richard Mandella had perhaps the greatest training day in Breeders’ Cup history, winning four races at Santa Anita. He was favored to win the Juvenile Fillies with Halfbridled…. And she won despite starting from post position 14. But handicappers didn’t give Action This Day (Juvenile), Johar (Turf) and, of course, Pleasantly Perfect (Classic) much of a chance. But they all won. The most impressive was Pleasantly Perfect, who defeated highly acclaimed Congaree, Medaglia d’Oro and Funny Cide.” (Dallas Morning News)
