and perfect drift was 4th..again
 

..let him retire :rolleyes:

They left him too much to do in the last quarter. He wanted to run in the middle of the race and I think they should of let him roll.

Not that it means anything but i thought he looked really good in the warm up to the race and he did seem a bit rank coming out of turn 2 heading down the backstretch. Not the worst effort in the world.

He's lost a step no doubt, at age 9 can we blame him...I thought his first race under Mandella showed some promise. Maybe I was wrong, he certainly hasn't progressed for Dick.

If the horse wants to race, let him race. I'm not one who believes that Perfect Drift has some 'legacy' we should be afraid to tarnish. The horse has been a nibbler forever and continues to be one. As long as he's not getting trounced or injured, what's the big deal in trying to get some green out of the old guy?

He ran OK. Was wide both turns and still made a decent run. Was a fast race.

Wanna see some cool PP's? How bout this old guy:
OLD GUY

Good stuff, won his first Graded Stakes race at the big A on Halloween, at a mere 65/1!

Interesting that he has only been posttime favorite i 15 starts and has only won 4 times as the fav, 3 as a MTO

Check who he beat that day... only one of the world's hottest sires, STREET CRY.

Also check out his stakes debut... a TRIO of top sires ran 1/1(dh)/3. I was at Saratoga that day, and I was still in COLLEGE! I suddenly feel much younger :)

Old guy at an OTB once told me horses that spot the field 10 lengths every time generally aren't a good bet :D

PG1985?

I think this guy called himself "Dixie Porter"
;) :D

Match Race PD and Lava Man :)

You MORON. :p

I think I counted 13 "off slowly" or "hesitated start":D I would imagine there is probably more than that.

DON'T you KNOW if I trained First Defence instead of BOBBY (who won't listen to me that he's best going 7F on the grass :mad: ) HE'D BE A GRADE I WINNER? Sonny and I sent it in on him on Saturday while we were in Monaco and Bobby didn't have him fit.

You're all a bunch of MORONS :D :p

MONACO?

You MORON. Don't talk to me about MONACO. Danny, Eugene and I OWNED Monaco.

Now get out of here. I have more knowledge in my little finger than you'll EVER have.

You're HOPELESS.:p

thanks for sharing... what an awesome ole' dude. how cool...

same crop as point given, monarchos, street cry, macho uno, congaree, and city zip. yet still running.

anyone who brings up dollar bill is just a spoiler.

A rarity these days for sure...Hope he makes it to the Breeders Cup and wins..What a neat under-rated horse he has been.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
