TORONTO, October 8, 2021 – Pleasecallmeback was crowned this year’s Turf Endurance champion and in doing so, earned bonuses for trainer-owner, dual Hall of Famer Roger Attfield, courtesy of a trio of impressive performances throughout the Woodbine series. Pleasecallmeback earned 24 points to top the table in the three-leg event. The four-year-old son of Hard Spun, who finished second in the series’ two previous races, was much the best in the final leg on Friday, going on to an authoritative 4 ¾-length triumph in the 1 ¾-mile marathon contested over a E.P. Taylor Turf Course listed as good. Pleasecallmeback and Antonio Gallardo dominated the field to capture the Woodbine Turf Endurance Series.
