The other horse was way wide of him. Didn't see him until it was too late. Believe what you want. You are the king, I am just a lowly servant.

No I'm not the King, but I have to be honest, I wasn't focusing on Perfect Drift during the race. I had used other horses in the pik-4 and was watching them and then once Seek gold started to fly i was jumping up and down screaming at the top of my lungs for him to get up. I know his trainer, and believe me I was a very happy guy when he won.
In any case I hadn't focused on PD and his jock and what happened. I just pulled up the replay on Brisbet because I kept hearing you say that the jock eased him up. So i watched it and was stunned to see that he had whipped him at least 20 times, and was bashing away the whole way home and was whipping furiously until the end. Go home and watch it, I know you can count an add. My point is that you can't make things out to be anything other than what they are in life. Everyone loves the horse, myself included, but to paint it out as jockey error when he hit him 20 times both left and right handed and was whipping furiously the whole way home is a gross misrepresenation of what occurred. go home and watch it again, and holler back at what you saw.
