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.

He's an excellent and admirable horse but he isn't nearly good enough to beat top horses anymore...period. He's still good enough to pick up the pieces against decent horses but when thrown to the wolves in five weeks he will get his head handed to him.

what is so ironic to me.....invasor gets questioned on who's he beat, as does lava man, and even bernardini.....2 losses the entire Year between the three of them--yet constantly, who'd they beat, who'd they beat. like a damn parrot squawking or something.
than you have perfect drift....he gets anointed as some kind of spectacular noble creature--hell, who has HE beaten? nobody. it's crazy. winners all over, and so many are killing themselves trying to outdo others with their praise for this sainted horse. gah.... and now i'll probably get leaped on for not praising this super horse. whatever...he's a good horse. but please gimme a break.

well he did beat mineshaft. that was a pretty good horse. listen i don't think most of us think that pd is going to win the classic, and i dont believe that a lot of people on here think he is "spectacular". personally i admire the horse for being so damn competitive at the top level of the sport for as long as he has, and i wouldn't be shocked if he ran up for the show spot in the classic. personally i dont see anything wrong with admiring a horse that has earned as much $$ over the years as this guy.

i was thinking about this year, but thanks....
all i'm saying is there is something wrong with people bashing winners, esp lava man, and then canonizing losers. it makes no sense.
