Well of course he COULD beat Perfect Drift. Perfect Drift is always beatable because he tends to run 2nd or 3rd a lot....regardless of the competition. But overall I would say that Perfect Drift is still a very competitive G1 horse, while Funny Cide is more of a G3 type horse. As Gander correctly points out, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a 6 year old like FC still being a good G3/lesser stakes horse. It is very impressive.
I would certainly favor PD in this spot because in addition to being a better (I think) overall racehorse, he looked VERY impressive over this track in this race last year.
I just hope this bit of info about Funny Cide turns out to be correct because I will be there at Arlington that day and I would love to see these two old boys run.
