You know, I've watched and critiqued Leparoux's races and riding skills a whole lot before, but I have never actually payed attention to what he looks like...I pay more attention to the horses he's riding. What can I say?

D a m n good rider on some d a m n good horses who is young and looks good = world beater! LOL

See what you've made me do now GR. I'm going to be paying more attention to what he looks like now that his actual riding skills in his races LOL....

I have been a fan of this horse since the 2002 Belmont; I played Sarava and an exacta with Perfect Drift. Too bad it was Medaglia D'Oro who came second. Eddie D could not deliver for me on Perfect Drift. He beat my boy Mineshaft in a Grade I in Kentucky getting weight from the champ and a better ride. I admire this old warrior, but Giacomo will be flying late; both will be looking at Bernardini's rear.

Jul Lep is your next superstar. Also I think Eibar Coa will eventually be at the top. Little by little Coa is moving up steadily.

The horse runs 9 times out of ten in one of the top three spots in the best of company even, and you all think he shouldn't be in the Classic?

I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and you can call me crazy if ya want. But I think you doubters are the crazy ones.

Ignoring the grass form he lost by a nose to Seek Gold, 5 lengths to Suave, and ran up the track in the Pacific Classic. A repeat of any of those efforts will not get him top ten in the Classic. Last year he ran those three races with Beyers of 102/102/112. This year he went 99/96/not sure of the PC figure but it wasn't good. There is a lot of evidence that he isn't close to the horse he was last year.

He's like a horse in Gallop Racer who is clearly on he downward slope.

This " I love Perfect Drift, he's so wonderful, how dare you criticize him " argument is pretty lame....to say the least.

I am curious....how much money will those defending him be betting on him in the Classic? Isn't that really all that really matters? If you can't defend 'em at the windows you can't defend them here.

I can defend him all I want. I think he belongs in the race. That is my opinion. Just because I normally don't bet, doesn't mean diddly doo-doo. I handicap races just like you guys do. Saving to buy my own horse which takes precedent over the betting on horseracing. Just cause I don't put money down, doesn't mean a person can't handicap a race.

I am not going to argue. Either you or I will be eating crow after the classic. But since you don't think he belongs in the race, then when he finishes in one of the top three spots, don't be acting like "I told you so".
