Guidry was all over him - at least 20 whips - and he just wanted to be with the pack. Same goes for his loss to Roses in May in the Whitney two years ago. He just doesnt want to win - pack mentality like a lot of horses have - its an animal instinct not wanting to be away from the pack and he doesnt see himself as the alpha male. Settle down.

i understand the pack concept and somewhat agree but i think there is still maybe 1 or hopefully 2 more grade 1's in it for him i believe he is that good yet. you have to admit that the foster should have been another grade 1 for him and that was not pack mentality at all but just bad racing luck. agree or disagree about that race?

I think it sucks anytime you get nipped by Seek Gold at the wire because Perfect Drift is far superior. I also think that Guidry was all out on Perfect Drift, but neither saw Seek Gold until much too late. Would he have won if he had seen Seek Gold earlier, who knows? Is he the better horse? Without a doubt. I also think that he has some more wins in him, but Guidry is going to need to give him the perfect ride. If he gets him up with an eighth or even sixteenth to go, Drift will start looking around and that's not a good thing. He needs to get him up right at the wire and with the perfect ride, he can do great things!

that i agree with you 100% with saturday, he does need the perfect ride , i say he went to the whip to early in the foster keep him as close as you can stalk , swing wide cause he hates being inside, sit and wait a little longer then the top of the stretch to ask him and i think good things will happen sixteenth pole or there abouts, but i agree with you above
