and based on current form, I'd take Sun King over Perfect Drift.

I meant in his (Sun King) last few races because after his nose loss to Invasor, everyone was dubbing him the second coming of Perfect Drift. I was just talking because it makes me mad that so many diss Perfect Drift. I can handle the doubters, but to say he doesn't belong in the race is crazy. He will show up. Will he win? I hope so and I will always have faith in him. He may not win, but he will finish in the $$$. He deserves to run anywhere he wants to run. He can run with the best of them.

Oh and by the way, I like Sun King too.

The more the merrier in my opinion.

What is the limit on starters and how do they draw he gets in and who stays out?

Good Question! I don't know. Does anyone know?

I thought it was based on a point system. And aren't there 14 starters allowed?

By the way, I can't wait to cheer for Perfect Drift when he wins the BCC.

Thanks for the info!

I think Guidry got a little content in the Stephen Foster, which is ironic since he's often very vigorous w/the whip. I think neither PD or Guidry saw Seek Gold until it was too late. It really hurt having win money on PD at 10-1 to get beat my a few millimeters.
