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

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.

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

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

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!

how many on turf??:D

how ya doing playa???

fact is tho, pd does have more seconds than firsts. but that was a hell of a year for him!!

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.

Welp...

Evidently, I'm the only one who took my advice about having a nice cold one. *Gulp*

You guys should join in!

No, everything you have said in this thread has not been wrong, not at all. There was nothing wrong in noting Perfect Drift's seconds. It was how you noted them, and continued to do so.

Knowledge is a very good thing when used and delivered well. And you are very knowledgable about the sport. And in that, I am sincere, I wouldn't trouble myself to be otherwise.

When the knowledge one has is delivered in such a way as to be a put down or smart alec--to me it casts a shadow on that person and for obvious reasons their knowledge is no longer as important to me due to the need I recognized in them to disparage.

It does not concern me that you think me psycho; that you think me crazy. That's your decision.

As Byk says, this place is like a University campus with many students, even a few seasoned and aged faculty members here, as well.

Oh, at this point even beer wouldn't make the crazy go away.

Don't worry DaHoss. Not only does talking about Drift without superlatives make you dishonorable and without grace...it apparently also has the potential to make you one of the worst Christians on Earth,if I haven't scooped that title up yet. PMs are my favorite:

Guys, this is unreal... honestly.

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?

Well, I can welcome any criticism of what I post, but an ad hominem attack on my faith is unwarranted under any circumstance -- especially from the you don't know me queen. Irony Central in the PD thread.

It's ridiculous, for sure, but I can't take all the credit for that. Credit where credit is due, I guess.

Brian, I spoke to you via message, and I think it is time for the thread to end.

DaHoss has, and I have. It may be wise for you to do the same.

We would all benefit from ceasing on this one.

I would like to personally apologize to everyone on this board for starting this thread. What a disaster.
I wanted to talk about Perfect Drift, because I have always like the horse a lot, but this thread has convinced me to never post about him again.

I was done with this thread this afternoon, until posting in response to a comment about beer -- which I find irresistible.

If only I had known that racing opinions would make me one of the worst Christians ever, I would have still been done.

And as such, unless you've got more drivel for me to attempt to digest, I am still done.

Don't apologize. Not your fault. Please don't feel bad for talking about racing news.

I still think an ice cold beer would have helped things on this thread... opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. I love having horses like Perfect Drift in the game, but I think a few people took some posts made by others a bit too seriously... definitely not your fault.

Wrong again.

No one discounted your opinions, what was discounted was the way in which you call names, and disect my posts to suit your own need to make a point, albeit one that is, most often attacking me.

So yes, I try and speak with you via message, and tell you exactly what I believe of your vehemence and the fact that it is--and you are--bogus in touting what you percieve as walking the path of a Christian.

And as I told you its a long, long road.

I've not used the ignore key here, its time that we both do I think.

Read: blah blah blah, lots of nonsense blather under the guise of rationale.

"the way you call names..." -- oh, like "one of the worst I've ever witnessed?" when speaking of my faith. Touché

Aka, the usual.

"Well isn't that special"

Sister Christian
Oh the time has come
And you know that you're the only one
To say O.K.
But you're motoring
You're motoring

R.I.P Grits
2007-2007

...and no one thinks theirs stinks!!!:eek:

one of my favorite sat night live characters ever!

Give me a stone and I will cast it.

Grits is banned? Another troll bites the dust. The tragedy of it all.

"Hit it Pearl!"

What the heck did Grits do to get banned? What did I miss last night?

Holy crap!

I have been avoiding this thread because I didn't care to read about a horse that ran exactly how everyone expected, but it wouldn't go away.

So, I had a few (actually it took more than a few) minutes to read it this morning and clicked on it. What a freaking train wreck.

This was better than TV. Thanks for the entertainment.

Of course if you're talking trainwrecks, you likely meant to say "better than TV (except American Idol, Tuesdays at 8 PM EST/7PM CST)" :D

All you need to do on a horse racing message board is speak truthfully about Perfect Drift, an admirable horse who has been on the decline for some time now, and every disillusioned fan of the horse jumps down your throat. I heard it all leading up to the BC Cup.....but of course no apologies AFTER the BC....when I dared suggest he had little to no chance to hit the board. It's basically a cult of lunacy and the sane are apparently not allowed to interject any rational thought.

On the internet, whatever accountability exists, only exists for the sound of mind.

He is probably the most competitive older horse out there right now. And when I say older I mean older than four or five years old. And when I say competitive I mean the level he is at. I am not fooling myself to think he is better than Invasor, but I would root for him to beat him. Just saying I love the horse. Not saying his is the best horse to ever set foot on a racetrack.

Drifty is my fave horse who is racing. No he doesn't always win, but 9 out of 10 times he does show up and get in the money. And I did say I was wrong after the Breeder's Cup. I may have been the only one, but I did admit it. :)

He was in the money SIX out of his last ten races.

What do you mean last night??
