A native of New Orleans, La., Perret won 4,415 races in a career that spanned from 1967 through 2005. He won the Belmont Stakes in 1987 with Bet Twice, denying Alysheba the Triple Crown. Three years later, Perret won the Kentucky Derby with Unbridled. He won four Breeders’ Cup races, including two editions of the Sprint, as well as two runnings of both the Travers Stakes and Queen’s Plate, among others. He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame in 2019; he is also a member of the Fair Grounds Hall of Fame (1994) and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame (2006).

Sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, the New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame was created in 1971 and has honored 264 sports figures (through 2025) who were born in New Orleans and achieved prominence in or away from the Greater New Orleans area; or, those non-natives who achieved sports prominence in the Greater New Orleans area in high school, college, professional or amateur sports. Plaques honoring the Hall of Famers will be displayed at Gate A on the Club Level of the Superdome.
