btw... if it was any closer Student Council would have come back and won it. it was a thin nostril.

Perfect Drift doesn't like Churchill. He was there until the stretch and had nothing.

It would be hard to believe a horse that finished in the money in the Kentucky Derby doesn't like Churchill.

Ditto, ditto, ditto. I've been a fan since he beat some overhyped Florida shippers in the Rushaway as a 3yo.

Same here! I was there that day and became a fan, and i went to CD yesterday just to see him come back. I was as nervous as could be watching him run around that track. He looked excellent in the paddock (front wraps always make me nervous though), and did not disappoint.

Souped up track or no, he was outstanding.

(and i did feel bad for PD after that race)

Hes 200 years old.

If that horse would have been in a different barn there is no telling how much money he could have knocked down

I have to agree with you on this one. Hard to complain when he has won so much $$$ but I think the number could be much higher with a different trainer.jmo

PP, I would say he should have DOUBLE.

Yea, your right. I know its easy for us to "arm chair" train but I just see glaring mistakes in this horses career.

This is one of the best managed horses in modern history. I have not seen hardly any mistakes. Care to expound on that?? My favorite part is that he was one of the only if not only eastern based hdcp horse to travel west regularly.

Wasn't his only grade 1 win in the Foster and was a nostirl from winning it last year as well. HE always liked Churchill...(I sense sarcasm)

You're right... he used to love Churchill and now he doesn't? Amazing the excuses I've read. They need to retire the old boy and let him just be a horse.

Well, I had to give the horse the benefit of the doubt. What if he had just needed the race in Keeneland? I guess not, though. I really don't believe he was any more misplaced in the BCC last year than half of the field, though. After watching today's race, if he was my horse, I'd retire him. Not to put words in anyone else's mouth, but... he really has done enough.

Nonsense. Just send him to Finger Lakes so he can "give a thrill to the smaller track fans" a.k.a. find a bunch of crappy horses he can finally beat so there's an excuse to keep running him for another year or two. Perfect Drift would be bored in retirement, don't you know?! Embarrassment on the racetrack is way cooler than boredom!

I'm just saying. Why is it cool to keep running Funny Cide, but unconscionable to race Perfect Drift?
