Gander,
I think they should've kep Guirdy on him. I love Guidry. But this wasn't anything Leparoux did or didn't do. P. Drift ran into a wall. Seriously it was eerie how much his trip was like his BC Classic Trip last year. A show bet on 'Drift in the BC Classic- maybe the safest bet in the whole thing lol.

I don't get it either. He is an average rider at best. He is a 23yo bug boy witch makes him a bug man and i think he is older than Bejorano. So i don't know i guess its the fact that he got 7 more years experiance before he became an apprentice.

We'll see how human Leparoux is when he loses his bug... I agree- He's nothin specil. But I like him better than some of the other big names out there. He's a mid-pack guy. A Cornholio Velasquez type lol.

I wouldn't throw out the win bet on Drifty. He definately has a lot left in the tank after today. Today was more like a workout. I really liked this as a prep for him.
Gotta go help a friend. Chat at you guys later!

PD looked amazing today, just like at CD in the Foster - I was there for both, and both times he came barelling down the stretch with a great stride. Last time he hung when he got the lead, this time he couldn't make up the ground. But both times he kicked impressively and looked like the winner in the stretch. I cheer for him out of shock as if he's the winner. Hope he finishes top-3 in the Classic, I would love to see him keep in "his" top form...

KG -
There is a massive disconnect around here concerning Perfect Drift and his actual ability. When he runs sixth in the BC Classic he will be hailed as an uncrowned champion.

My bad... About not knowing he lost his bug.
As I said before, I don't think the way Leparoux rode yesterday made a difference. P. Drift was blocked, but was the better move to take 'Drift 10-wide to get around 'em? You hope something opens up so you don't exert that energy taking him way outside. As I said in the original post, the race yesterday was eerily similar to P. Drift's BC Classic run last year. Blocked tilat least mid-stretch, and then he came with a big run. So I'm not tyring to take too much away from Ball 4, but the fact remains he had a perfect trip, while 'Drift and Preimum Tap had horrible trips. I'm convinced they both beat Ball 4 with betetr trips. I hope I can get 15-1 on Perfect Drift in the Classic.

15-1?
This is not meant as a criticism of Perfect Drift but I would give you 15-1 for as much money as you could possibly raise. He will be upwards of 30-1 in the Classic.

I think it absolutely made the difference. Now we know that Premium Tap would have won had he gotten through, and we also know that Kent D is one of the few jockeys out there that can find trouble in a short field on the dirt with the best horse. Thats moot. Kent did what he does best- find a way to lose.
That said, Perfect Drift was easily the 2nd best horse in the race and Leparoux did all he could to ensure he couldnt take proper advantage of a bonehead ride by giving another bonehead ride.

well im as big a supporter of perfect drift as most round here know but in this thread ill reply to the julien comments! lots of athletes including jocks have all the physical talent in the world but some dont have any brains whatsoever! this kid does! ive watched him ride so much and the majority of the time he puts his horse in the best possible spot to win. hada chance to meet julien this past summer and hes one helluva nice guy! his ride clearly won the race for us@churchill, luga pulled his crap hopping out the gate like hes done for other riders throughout his career but julien recovered quickly and made a very heady ride on him! i hope the people that are slamming him have religiously watched him ride. heres the winners circle pic from that day, luga is not only a very nice horse on the track but hes also pleasant to take care of and just be around. for as huge as he is hes a gentle giant
