I am curious....how much money will those defending him be betting on him in the Classic? Isn't that really all that really matters? If you can't defend 'em at the windows you can't defend them here.
I like that game Gallop Racer...All of the horses that have trained so far have sucked...The foal that I named Winning Colors was DEFINITELY not Winning Colors...All of the horses that I have bought though have been excellent and I have ridden a bunch of GI winners. I agree with you about Perfect Drift, although I think that they should take a shot with him in the BCC. However, I don't think that the horse is what he used to be. And yes, if I'm wrong, I'll eat crow

and this -he doesnt belong in the bcc is pretty lame on your part to say the least. i could give a rats ass if you criticize him, thats what a message board is for, to speak your mind and me mine. your op on him being in the bcc means jack he's earned his right until proven otherwise, like i said on big days he runs big races even if he doesnt win, and yes black ,i will be putting my money were my mouth is

I have no life so I've played it like 12 million times. I actually once bred the perfect horse.....125 on both grass and dirt.

There is a lot of evidence that he isn't close to the horse he was last year.
those speed figs are not his best i agree, but if you follow drift you would know he runs to the level of his competition and will run run much better then those figs in the bcc.no this this year is not as good as previous but let me say this it could look a whole lot different in those races you mentioned. a grade 1 missed less then a nose, ran as well this year to win the wph as last year when he won and hit a horse in suave who ran a freak race.and the del mar is the one i cant figure out, that was not drift at all in that race.he never breaks that slow and falls that far behind the field-EVER. was his worst race he ever ran in his life. i do know this, the horse after the race was still full of energy and full of himself and the connections were not that happy with guidry, very suspect run out of him at del mar , has never ran and had to come from that far out of it in any of his other races. throw that pc out
