Maybe so, but I still need one.

By the way, I love Drifty... root for him any time he runs, but my personal opinion on him is that he's a talented horse who is the epitomy of a herd animal. He gets out in front and he wonders where everyone else is, so he 'hangs.' Nothing wrong with a horse like him who brings home a paycheck, but the truth of the matter is... he's not a gritty, 'fight til the end' kind of horse.

Don't be negative. Honest assessments of the horse's running style and tendency to pick up slices will be considered a smartass undertone and will make you subject to more rules regarding what you can and cannot say about a horse.

you gotta expect the bashers to come out regardless of how the beloved PD performs, but who wouldnt kill to own a him? his owners extremely lucky to have him as a racehorse and as a pet at his house in the winters and watch him run through the snow...........go PD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think if horse racing had a lure like greyhound racing that Perfect Drift would go down as the greatest racehorse of all time.

I still don't see where the "bashers" are at in this thread.
He is a very good horse, and it seems like everyone that has posted in this thread agrees on that.

It's useless to even try. It's just like the Bernie fans. You can't even point out anything factual about the horse without it being construed as an egregious attack on the horse and its owner and the entire sport of horse racing.

the bashing of him has been going on for years going back to the espn board. he was bashed and bent over by racing not even being a finalist for the eclipse the year he beat mineshaft and smashed congaree with ease and lost 1 race on the dirt the entire year and that being the BCC when funny cide with julie krone up that day wiped him out on the turn. somehow congaree but managed to be a finalist but anyways he hasnt gotten the respect he deserves for a long time now

hmmmmmmmmm lets see off the top of my head, the makers mark@kee which i was there for that day and was just used as a public stroll and prep, and another at arlington that i recall for sure. the horse can handle the lawn tho.


im doin aight, howbout you?

[Cajungator26]

I'd love to own Drifty. Not saying I wouldn't... just saying that he is what he is and those that think he's going to change his running style now are probably incorrect.

That's an absurd statement to anyone that follows the sport and knows that Drifty isn't exactly known for blowing by rivals in the stretch. That's it. Since then we have had to hear about his owners, what they do, what they read, how much money he's earned. None of that matters in what the discussion was about. I love how people are bothered Drifty's not getting his respect, who in this thread hasn't said he's a good horse. What more do you want? I guess being honest about things bothers some, but it shouldn't. There is nothing wrong with being honest about a horse or his place in history.

well if youre gonna be honest then actually be honest LOL, he wasnt flat down the lane. did you even watch the race?

lol thats what i asked him. he thinks he flattend out in the stretch, dahoss needs to go watch the replay again and see he was gaining ground even thou for some reason he won't admit it. take 2nd -yes flatten out- no ,gaining on the winner -yes.flatend out -what a joke. da hoss just wants to bicker i'm done with this thread-i said GOOD DAY

He certainly was no match for the winner, so call it what you want. Since you're such an expert, was I incorrect in thinking he wasn't going past the winner no matter how much further they went? Honestly....

you were incorrect in saying he was flat, again did you actually watch the race?

Yes, he was incorrect, but as we can see, he still hasn't the grace to admit even that--when the fractions and more information regarding the race results were provided.

That's unfortunate. To be that self-consumed.

i can't believe this thread is still on page one. ooops, there i go, bashing again. or am i attacking? or would this be construed as negative? gotta get it straight!
