A buzz has surrounded the first crop of young sire Perfect Mandate since his foals began racing last summer throughout California.
Saturday, before a national audience, the hype could go nationwide when two of Perfect Mandate's 3-year-olds start in Sunshine Millions races for California-breds and Florida-breds.
At Santa Anita, Badgett's Mandate, Perfect Mandate's top earner, starts in the $250,000 Dash. At Gulfstream Park, Allswellthatnswell makes her stakes debut in the $250,000 Oaks.
