Pleasantly Perfect repeats in 2003 Goodwood at Santa Anita [03:08]
Pleasantly Perfect added a second victory in Santa Anita's/Oak Tree's Goodwood Handicap (then a Grade 2) by wearing down a stubborn Fleetstreet Dancer in the 2003 edition of the race. In his following start, Pleasantly Perfect used similar closing tactics to take the Breeders' Cup Classic, also at Santa Anita. Alex Solis rode for Hall of Fame trainer Richard Mandella. Fleetstreet Dancer would also go on to land a big prize, upsetting the Japan Cup Dirt two starts later.
