Stakes winner Perform is seeking his first win of his 4-year-old campaign on Friday, June 7th in Saratoga Race 2, a $115,000 allowance optional claiming race for ages 3 years and older covering a mile and a quarter over the dirt. The Shug McGaughey trainee will have jockey Dylan Davis aboard, breaking from post № 8 in a field of 9. Post time is 12:53 pm Eastern.
He earned black-type last April by winning the Frederico Tesio Stakes at Laurel Park, qualifying him for the grade 1 Preakness Stakes in May in which he finished sixth. He shipped to Saratoga for the summer where he finished a fifth in the Curlin Stakes. After a ten-month layoff, Perform kicked off his 4-year-old campaign on May 19 at Aqueduct, finishing third among allowance company.
By Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms stallion Good Magic and out of Tale of Ekati mare Jane Says, the colt’s granddam is a half-sibling to sires Into Mischief and Mendelssohn and four-time champion Beholder.
Bred by Michael and J.B. Lane Orem, Perform was purchased for $230,000 from the Beau Lane Bloodstock consignment at the Keeneland September 2021 sale. He is owned in partnership by Woodford Racing LLC, Lane’s End Farm, Phipps Stable, Ken Langone, and Edward Hudson, Jr.
