I would think that by now you might just want to convince them that you're not a monk

a little healthy competition between nieghbors is normal

well, not so hot finishes on turf translated into some nice races for perfect drift...wilco earned some money last year, unless he's absolutely hitting the breaks, i don't see a need to retire him just yet.

I hear ya Danzig, but his last few dirt starts resulted in 23+ length defeats. Tough to have much confidence going forward.

Are you sure you guys watched the race today? He finshed trying, needed it bad, and ran solid. He will move forward off this and have a good year if they can keep him sound.

Yeah considering the length of layoff, the colic surgery, the fact that he wasn't made 100% for this anyway and the surface not being the one they wanted I figured he tried pretty hard and anything better than what he did would've been unexpected. Wasn't he 4th choice? Something like that. Could've sworn there was some other physical problem last year.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if we had a 4 horse race with Wilko, Funny Cide, Evening Attire, and Perfect Drift, they'd all find a way to dead heat for second. I love rooting for them though. If he won the Santa Anita Handicap I'd be ecstatic for his lil hard tryin' self.
