He isn't good enough............SUCKER HORSE...............IF ever there was a SUCKER horse,it is this one.

Pretty impressive that you're comparing him to Alydar at this point.

With that said, this is not a sucker horse, Scuds. This isn't Perfect Drift we're talking about here.

This is phenomenal, I'm reading the name Perfect Drift and the term--sucker horse--in the same post. Unbelievable.

CJ you would do well with 1/100th of his lifetime earnings in your bank account!!!!!!!!!!!! Please.

Yeah because she's not talking about Perfect Drift from a wagering standpoint.

I am here to flat out predict that Cowtown Cat will without a doubt finish 16th in the Derby. No question about it. 16th. I honestly see no way he could finish any better or any worse than that. He is clearly the 16th best horse at 10f of this crop.

I'm a huge fan of Perfect Drift, Grits. The horse is a herd animal, though and has shown time and time again (much to my dismay) that he's a follower and not a leader. That is what I meant.

That's cool Cg I understand. This is a grand racehorse, one that means a great deal to so many people. It's a gift to us all to see one campaign as long as Drift has.

I agree, 100%. I love the horse and I even lost some money on him in the BCC. Lori will testify.

yea i think that was actually the last time i won money on a race.

oh wait, I had a 20 dollar head to head in that same race with another friend. i had the great Bernardini and she had invasor.

so i actually lost money on that race.

The only thing that will suprise me at this pt. is if I manage to have the winner on derby day. This year seems impossible...

Hey what about this angle: Wasnt there a wind bias at TB on Sat? Wisdom is that it should help closers as it was head wind on the back stretch and tail wind on the home stretch. It did appear that way on the filly race two races back.

Not so sure if it played the same way in the TB Dby, but if it did, then it would seem AGS was working against the bias and SS was aided by it.

I should actually look at a chart of all the horses before drawing any such conclusion. You can often get better information by looking at how the also rans ran, despite being out of it, they can still tell you something.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the wind bias in all this?

Alydar kept suckering people into playing him in the Triple Crown Races.After all,wasn't he right there pretty damn close to Affirmed? Just bad luck (I guess) that he couldn't get to him.Couldn't be that Alydar wasn't good enough.
