But the sentimental pick is the 1991 win by La-bred Free Spirit's Joy.

I remember seeing that race, w/o googling, can anyone remember who rode Wallenda that race? Jock reappeared last yr after a stint in retirement...

Was Perret aboard Peteski? I remember that horse could not deal with the Louisiana heat.

Yes he was, I think Peteski suffered from CPPM effect or what I like to refer to as the "Craig Premature Perret Move". Who knows it may have been the heat but Perret always irked me with his outside half mile moves. Another one I can recall was his ride on With Approval in the BC turf.

I'll give Spyder the credit for the is vid. This is a good illustration of what I thought of Perret as a rider.
