I think the jockeys were determined to not let what happend in '01 repeat itself the following year ... even though the field had MUCH less quality speed. Perfect Drift would have been loose on the lead if Eddie D. wasn't strangling him back.
IIRC, Perfect Drift hadn't shown much speed up to that point in his career.
I always thought Eddie D. rode a shrewd race by having him up close, was he really pulling?
