What the Nation is saying about Pleasant Colony...

By Bill Christine August 23, 2004 One of the happiest people after Pleasantly Perfect’s one-length win Sunday in the $1-million Pacific Classic was on the periphery of the winner’s-circle celebration. He was just 5 feet 3, wearing a neck and back stabilizer.Read More

Monday, May. 11, 1981 Pleasant Colony loped around Churchill Downs on Saturday in an unhurried 2 min. 2 sec. to come in first by three-quarters of a length, paying $9 to bettors with a win ticket. Woodchopper, a 35-to-1 shot, finished second, and Partez, at 7-to-1, came in third. Proud Appeal, the f...Read More
