At Delaware Park, the Pleasantly Perfect colt, Perfect Song, turned in a time of :39.60 for 3 furlongs. Perfect Song is out of the Prospector's Music mare, Prospector's Song.

She is the dam of one winner, the stakes-placed Song of the Saints.

earned $67,554, but did not win as a 2-year old. Saardona is her first
foal.
Finally, a note for those of you who have asked why we aren't profiling other stallions. When this blog started, we decided to follow several first-year stallions. Users suggested others and we compiled a final list of: Birdstone, Congaree, Medaglia d'Oro, Peace Rules, Pleasantly Perfect, Saarland, Smarty Jones, and Speightstown. This is not meant to imply that these horses will be more or less successful than other 1st-crop sires. They were primarily chosen because of their name recognition from their racing careers. In addition to the core list, other first-year sires will always receive attention within our feature races. However, I do not feel it is possible to follow every first-year stallion in-depth. I would consider adding one or two more to the list (preferably a stallion who hasn't had a winner yet) and will try to post a poll asking for recommendations in the next day or two.
