It's basically a cult of lunacy and the sane are apparently not allowed to interject any rational thought.

On the internet, whatever accountability exists, only exists for the sound of mind.

He is probably the most competitive older horse out there right now. And when I say older I mean older than four or five years old. And when I say competitive I mean the level he is at. I am not fooling myself to think he is better than Invasor, but I would root for him to beat him. Just saying I love the horse. Not saying his is the best horse to ever set foot on a racetrack.

Drifty is my fave horse who is racing. No he doesn't always win, but 9 out of 10 times he does show up and get in the money. And I did say I was wrong after the Breeder's Cup. I may have been the only one, but I did admit it.

He was in the money SIX out of his last ten races.

Haven't you learned your lesson about trying to use facts on this forum?

Picky SOB aren't you? OK six out of ten times he is in the money? See I can admit when I was wrong.

No, I just like facts, something often missing when devotees of Perfect Drift wax poetic about his achievements.

I love the horse yes. I will always root for him. Just saying 6 out of 10 is pretty darn good for a horse his age and the competition he runs with.

Nobody said he wasn't a good horse. It just seems that the supposed dissenters talk about him honestly, while his fan club makes up his accomplishments as they go along, yet it is the honest ones that get criticized.

I was wrong too. Sent Lori the money to prove it as I lost a head to head bet with her over PD's poor performance.

Counting down the seconds until Worty makes a comment about me sending money...
