(Grand Prairie, Texas - Saturday, October 1, 2022) - The $426,500 Dash For Cash Futurity (G2) was won by One Perfect Lady with Francisco Calderon in the irons, stopping the clock at :19.620 for the 400-yard contest.

The two-year-old sorrel filly by Bogart, out of a One Famous Eagle mare, The Perfect Eagle, improved her lifetime record to five wins from nine starts. With the winner's share of the purse, $170,600, One Perfect Lady has now banked $230,507 in her career.

Before the race, trainer Rolando Almanza was cautiously optimistic, saying, "If she breaks like she did last time, we will be okay."

Although the filly bobbled slightly at the start, One Perfect Lady put her head in front and would not be denied, winning the Dash For Cash Futurity (G2) by a length over Daddy Caliente.

After the victory, Francisco Calderon said, "You're never for sure until you cross the wire. They made a move on me at about halfway there, and she got another gear. It's just a blessing to be a part of it."

One Perfect Lady returned &31.20 to the winning bettors for a $2 win wager.
