Friday, Race 5 – Encierro

Perri said: “Encierro worked on October 6 for Catherine Day-Phillips in 1:02.60 beating company, Grand Oasis (1:03.20). The rrack was fair rated 3.”

Saturday, Race 8 – Summer Retreat

Perri said: “Summer Retreat worked on October 6 for Andrew Smith in 1:00.8 beating Promise Me Bourbon (1:01). Coming off a stakes debut with an extra half-furlong will benefit him.”

Perri said: “Dreams Are Free sizzled in her work on October 6 in :47.80 breezing for Catherine Day Phillips. I have been waiting for this one to come out for a while.”
