Perfect Drift working towards a return

BuffyMommy will be happy. ;) Hey, if the old warrior still wants to do it, why not?

i love this horse, always have..............
had one of my bigger scores with him, had a $50 exacta box him- with mineshaft in the Foster, did not really think he could win and was going to play it straight mineshaft-perfect drift... but my friend gave him a big shot and i boxed it and it paid off

That was a great stretch duel.

He's no longer G1 and probably not even stakes caliber, so the best betting opportunities will come with the eternal all/drift/ all when he enters against some nags in a O/C somewhere this summer.

i disagree, why cant he run in stakes ? evening atire ? i think pd is tons better then him. better talk now ? the tin man ? pd is as good or better then all of them

Just cause Evening Attire is older and still gets it done has nothing to do with Perfect Drift. Why do people try to compare horses like this when there really is no comparison.

perfect drift is a better horse now, and always was... its really very simple.

Better Talk Now and The Tin Man both won G1 races last year.
I've always liked Perfect Drift too, but what criteria are you using to come to the conclusion that he is currently a better than those two?


p.s. Please include another story about a winning wager you made in your response to this question. I just loooooooove hearing them.

just atire, not the tin man or better talk now

I am happy! :)

I figure if anyone can get Drifty ready to race again, Mandella can do it. I love this horse.... I do still wear my "DRIFTY" hat now and again at horse shows, but mostly "The Buck Stops Here" hat has moved into 1st place as my fave hat.

You call that running?

Zippy Chippy apparently got his confidence back when he heard Perfect Drift was back.

Riddle me this Point Given Man!

Q:
If The Tin Man and Perfect Drift were in the same race, who would win?

A:
I don't know, but I do know who'd run second!!

racing with a injury will do that to you -among other things

I love this horse. Doesn't matter to me where he finishes... :)

Some complain about the early retirements and here he is, running his heart out year after year.

Nothing but respect for this old warrior.

Huh? No one is.
