2003 Breeders' Cup Classic

Pleasantly Perfect takes the Breeders' Cup Classic by two lengths at Santa Anita Park.

This was a hell of a race. Medaglia d'Oro won some impressive races in his career....but I seem to remember him always being the bridesmaid and never the bride.

[@OfficialMuffiin]

If he wasn't gunned to the lead right away he would've won IMO.

[@chrisp.9172]

Medalia de Oro 1 for 7 at 1mi. 1/4..

[@ChannelPerl]

Two Grade one 8-9f types running 10f. A duel was inevitable. MDO a slightly better stayer. Result made a lot of sense. I snared the exacta which paid around 70-1 if I remember correctly.

Was 03 breeders cup races collectively the best breeders cup to date?

One of the best BC Classics ever!

[@chrispafrieddreams9118]

Man o Mandella! I'll tell you what, Alex Solis could ride a little too...

[@christopherashford4194]

I love this race, 20+ years later. MDO ran his eyeballs out to finish second. One point: PP was the 19th winner. Tiznow won it twice.

Congaree a fast beast

[@chrisp.9172]

If I remember right, P Val was on Congaree, intent on getting the lead! If he'd just rated in 2nd ( he could rat) instead of making an early move, maybe he could've held 2nd, and my $10 exacta box would have paid out boxcars!! ♥️🙏👉🇺🇸

[@BarryReinitz]

great run by pleasantly perfect

[@MrGraffiti05]

Ole Bob Bowers!!! now that was a horse!!!!

[@DanielSong39]

Candy Ride got hurt

[@richardjohnson6137]

I hit that trifecta

[@MrGraffiti05]

and your probably broke already!!!! degenerate gambler

[@MrGraffiti05]

Skip Away would piss on all of them

[@TheJustjim3333]

Except he was long retired by then..and he couldn't handle Fortunate Gold

[@hackendiffyify]

@@TheJustjim3333 Formal Gold

[@TheJustjim3333]

@@hackendiffyify him too! 😁

[@DanielSong39]

Too bad Candy Ride was hurt

[@chrisp.9172]

He would have been caught up in a pretty good speed duel, which set up for the closer..

[@MrGraffiti05]

all these horses are rats in this race

[@chrisp.9172]

I believe the top 2 are hall of famers! So who's the rat?
