I don't know why you're twisting my words around. I'm not going to fight with you here.

Why not? The kids need breakfast?

That's silly talk. PD wasn't a stakes level turf horse in his prime, and he's well past that...I like the horse and have been somewhat of a fan for years, but unless Funny Cide comes back for a pay-per-view war at the shore match race, his days of running notable races are long gone.

It's not worth fighting. Anytime anyone makes a thread about Perfect Drift, anyone who has the audacity to be realistic about the horse's current level of talent in relation to others racing will be be branded as either bashing PD, hating on PD, or complaining about horses retired too early.

It's not bashing on one of my favorite local horses, Courthouse, if someone says that he's not even a legit 18K claimer anymore when he used to be legit in optional claimers. It's the reality of a horse that tailed off from what he used to be.

Toss in a Perfect Drift here or there and all reading comprehension skills immediately go out the window.

The horse is simply not a legitimate stakes horse anymore, and doesn't rank up with any of the other horses listed in an earlier post based on his form and proven inability to actually win a race. It doesn't mean I hate him, it doesn't mean I wish him ill, it just means that I choose to use the head on my shoulders from time to time.

Who knows how good PD was. He spent his career with Murry Johnson. He may have been the best horse ever to draw a breath

Perfect Drift is such a warrior, look forward to his return.:)

Nice horse. If Mandella wants to run him he will. Any horse that stays around long enough to run in 5 straight BC Classics is ok in my book. I will predict no other horse will ever approach that mark. Whether he was or is good, bad, or indifferent, those 5 straight Classic appearances make him extremely unique in today's sport. I'll leave it up to Mandella to decide what races to place him in or where he can be competetive.
