My insight concerning the horse isn't to automatically blame his trainer. I'm not convinced that PD would have lasted as long as he has with another trainer... there is obviously no way to know for sure, but I don't feel as if Johnson spotted this horse horribly. As for how he trained him, I have no idea. I'm not a trainer. Only a trainer would really know how he has done with this particular horse.

Thanks for your snobbish response, by the way. Spot on as usual.

And I said I thought Murray Johnson was a bad trainer, which at least 2 others agreed with. I also thought he might have done better with another trainer, which again, at least 2 agreed with. I guess I shouldn't have an opinion. From now on I'll just talk about how pretty horseys are and make lame sexual innuendos with every other post I make.
Where did I say you shouldn't post your opinion? I never said that at all (I agree with most of it)... you just so happened to degrade another poster's opinion and guess what? He's entitled to his opinion too.

I'm sure that mentioning you just lost your lunch was really relevant to this topic.

You're right, Dave.

Hoss,

I'm sorry. (Seriously.)

Back to topic...

Perfect Drift needs to be retired.

I didn't degrade anyone's opinion, I disagreed. And thought it was sort of unecessary to drag Chuck into this and call into question his numbers when he had nothing to do with anything.
I agree.

Congrats to Brass Hat and connections in his win.


Murray Johnson, imo, not great trainer but decent, better than some trainers
but not others. He at least gave P. Drift the chance to run against the best horses, not find the easy spots to just make money and wins, like some trainers we all know wouldve done.

My thanks to Murray and Perfect Drift for the great races we all enjoyed seeing.

Maybe they will write a race at The Fingerdogs for him.

He could buck heads with Funny Cide

He isn't popular enough.

What are they going to say....."Come see....the horse who ran 3rd in the Derby!"

Unless FC was in the race as well, I don't think they'd alter a race for Perfect Drift.
