Sometimes life follows the script, such was the case in the MN Classic. Last year's winner and confirmed front-end speed employed his usual tactics, opening up by one length as the field rounded the first turn. The defender had won the previous edition by thirteen-and-one-half lengths, yet this year's competition included Perfect Bull. Jockey Dean Butler had a measured hold on the MN Derby Champion and that lead was allowed at their discretion. They moved up on even terms through the backstretch, put away their rival by mid-stretch and drew off by an increasing five-and-one-half lengths.
On the heels of victorious performances this year at Canterbury Park, Perfect Bull was named MN Champion Three Year Old Colt.

Sport of Kings
While the phrase was born of Old World privilege and pagentry, its modern meaning is decidely American. Pauper or prince, blue-collar or tycoon, family tradition or pioneer, solo or syndicate, this is the sport of opportunity for all.
Turning for home, a harmony of motion powers down the stretch, carrying a dream, chasing a destination. With a final stride the wire arrives and victory is declared in an everlasting perfect moment.
From groom to owner and trainer to fan, all are crowned as kings when the journey brings you to the royal court of the winners' circle. That is the Sport of Kings.
