Perfect Rendition now a perfect 4-for-4 at Buffalo.

 

Beginning from the five spot, the front-end speed ball Perfect Rendition (Larry Stalbaum) had little resistance in grabbing the lead and was able to post fractions of 30.2, 1:01.2 and 1:31.4.

 

Mesmerized (Shawn Gray) was in great first over position past the three-quarter marker but couldn't narrow the gap at all as Perfect Rendition ($7.10) managed to trot away with the comfortable victory. Trotting R T (Kevin Cummings) took the show position.

 

The 11-year-old gelded Perfect Rendition (Perfectly-Ella Go Go) is owned by Stalbaum and trained by Kimberly Asher. The win moved his earnings in 2017 to $18,200 and $295,035 lifetime.
