Default Perfect Drift

With all the attention on how much of a difference it would've made if Premium Tap, it completely overshadows the trouble the Perfect Drift had in this race. This Race was identical to last year's BC Classic for Perfect Drift.

He looked full of run at the top of the stretch, and was blocked repeatedly. Leparoux tried to take him to the outside, and he was blocked. Then he swerved Drift in, and was blocked, and so Leparoux decided to finally split horses when a hole finally opened mid stretch, AND HE PLOWED THROUGH WITH A BIG RUN. By then it was too late.

It seems like Perfect Drift always finds a way to get in trouble or come up just short. But he had as many excuses as Premuin Tap today. But I don't think necessarily Preimum Tap wins that race if 'Tap doesn't check. Because if Perfect Drift could have gotten a clean ride as well, those two easily finish 1-2 in the race.

Gander,
I think they should've kep Guirdy on him. I love Guidry. But this wasn't anything Leparoux did or didn't do. P. Drift ran into a wall. Seriously it was eerie how much his trip was like his BC Classic Trip last year.

A show bet on 'Drift in the BC Classic- maybe the safest bet in the whole thing lol.

I don't get it either. He is an average rider at best. He is a 23yo bug boy witch makes him a bug man and i think he is older than Bejorano. So i don't know i guess its the fact that he got 7 more years experiance before he became an apprentice.

We'll see how human Leparoux is when he loses his bug... I agree- He's nothin specil. But I like him better than some of the other big names out there. He's a mid-pack guy. A Cornholio Velasquez type lol.

I wouldn't throw out the win bet on Drifty. He definately has a lot left in the tank after today. Today was more like a workout. I really liked this as a prep for him.

Gotta go help a friend. Chat at you guys later!
