He is a very good horse, and it seems like everyone that has posted in this thread agrees on that.

the bashing of him has been going on for years going back to the espn board. he was bashed and bent over by racing not even being a finalist for the eclipse the year he beat mineshaft and smashed congaree with ease and lost 1 race on the dirt the entire year and that being the BCC when funny cide with julie krone up that day wiped him out on the turn. somehow congaree but managed to be a finalist but anyways he hasnt gotten the respect he deserves for a long time now

I'd love to own Drifty. Not saying I wouldn't... just saying that he is what he is and those that think he's going to change his running style now are probably incorrect.

That's an absurd statement to anyone that follows the sport and knows that Drifty isn't exactly known for blowing by rivals in the stretch. That's it. Since then we have had to hear about his owners, what they do, what they read, how much money he's earned. None of that matters in what the discussion was about. I love how people are bothered Drifty's not getting his respect, who in this thread hasn't said he's a good horse. What more do you want? I guess being honest about things bothers some, but it shouldn't. There is nothing wrong with being honest about a horse or his place in history.


well if youre gonna be honest then actually be honest LOL, he wasnt flat down the lane. did you even watch the race?

He certainly was no match for the winner, so call it what you want. Since you're such an expert, was I incorrect in thinking he wasn't going past the winner no matter how much further they went? Honestly....

you were incorrect in saying he was flat, again did you actually watch the race?

Danzig 04-16-2007 05:47 PM

i can't believe this thread is still on page one. ooops, there i go, bashing again. or am i attacking? or would this be construed as negative? gotta get it straight!

Yes, he was incorrect, but as we can see, he still hasn't the grace to admit even that--when the fractions and more information regarding the race results were provided.

That's unfortunate. To be that self-consumed.

Cajungator26 04-16-2007 08:03 PM

Welp...

Evidently, I'm the only one who took my advice about having a nice cold one. *Gulp*

You guys should join in!

Thank you Grits for showing me the light.

I was wrong. Perfect Drift was charging hard and almost surely would have won by open lengths with a better trip. He is a legend in the game and the most underappreciated horse ever. I am going to try and find a Drifty hat like Buffy and wear it PROUDLY everytime he runs. Oh and Grits you aren't crazy either, everything I have said in this thread has been wrong.

No, everything you have said in this thread has not been wrong, not at all. There was nothing wrong in noting Perfect Drift's seconds. It was how you noted them, and continued to do so.

Knowledge is a very good thing when used and delivered well. And you are very knowledgable about the sport. And in that, I am sincere, I wouldn't trouble myself to be otherwise.

When the knowledge one has is delivered in such a way as to be a put down or smart alec--to me it casts a shadow on that person and for obvious reasons their knowledge is no longer as important to me due to the need I recognized in them to disparage.

It does not concern me that you think me psycho; that you think me crazy. That's your decision.

As Byk says, this place is like a University campus with many students, even a few seasoned and aged faculty members here, as well.

Oh, at this point even beer wouldn't make the crazy go away.

Don't worry DaHoss. Not only does talking about Drift without superlatives make you dishonorable and without grace...it apparently also has the potential to make you one of the worst Christians on Earth,if I haven't scooped that title up yet. PMs are my favorite:

Honestly, one of the poorest I've ever witnessed. I think you are far removed from knowing what a Christian is. You have a long, long road ahead of you.

Guys, this is unreal... honestly.

Well, I can welcome any criticism of what I post, but an ad hominem attack on my faith is unwarranted under any circumstance -- especially from the you don't know me queen. Irony Central in the PD thread.

It's ridiculous, for sure, but I can't take all the credit for that. Credit where credit is due, I guess.

Brian, I spoke to you via message, and I think it is time for the thread to end.

DaHoss has, and I have. It may be wise for you to do the same.

We would all benefit from ceasing on this one.

miraja2 04-16-2007 10:04 PM

I would like to personally apologize to everyone on this board for starting this thread. What a disaster.
I wanted to talk about Perfect Drift, because I have always like the horse a lot, but this thread has convinced me to never post about him again.
