Perfect Drift - in his first couple of years - was actually one of the most underrated horses of recent times. A friggen badass horse with a trainer whos incompetence was the stuff of legend.

If some alchemist like Dutrow had PD - instead of a trainer who'd go 2-for-106 at Turfway Park - he probably would have been Horse of the Year at least once. Who can forget Murray Johnson - when this horse was in his prime - threatening to skip the Breeders Cup and instead run in the Melbourne Cup.
