You could have made a fortune by backwheeling Perfect Drift in exactas from age 5 on. He was at least pretty predictable - Nationalore would run 3rd in back to back Grade 1's than run a flat 5th in a Cal Bred maiden special weight.
Perfect Drift - in his first couple of years - was actually one of the most underrated horses of recent times. A friggen badass horse with a trainer whos incompetence was the stuff of legend.
If some alchemist like Dutrow had PD - instead of a trainer who'd go 2-for-106 at Turfway Park - he probably would have been Horse of the Year at least once. Who can forget Murray Johnson - when this horse was in his prime - threatening to skip the Breeders Cup and instead run in the Melbourne Cup.
