un effin believable. NTRA National Pick 4 is going to pay HUGE - wonder how many had him??? Really glad to see that Perfect Drift still had "it"...I was doubting him before this race. Looks like our board Grade 1 contest will go another week without a winner in the biggest race - really doubt anyone included Seek Gold!!!

How bad a beat is that if you nailed Perfect Drift to win?

One of those days I'm very happy I didnt hit the OTB!!! I saw his Clark performance a while back but was very sour on the horse after I backed him in last years Alysheba and he came up empty at Churchill. Anyone want to explain to me how this horse won. Anything in the sheets/racing form? First for new trainer, but the new trainer is only a 14% winner with first time starters. Always hoping to learn a little bit

All I know is you will not see Seek Gold in the Classic but PD will be there with Bells on and he will ROCK! He lost by a freakin' HAIR. To all you who diss, shrug, ddrop him, don't stick him in the top three, when will you learn. THIS is a race horse.

Dead last at the eighth pole.. THE EIGHTH POLE...

Best part of that win is Calvin Borel... The camera on him before it bacame official was priceless... Totally underappreciated guy that grinds it out. I think Randy Moss said it was his first Gr. I win which amazes me...

Wild.. wild.. wild..

Carryober at CD and BEL tomorrow...

Very bold of him to say he knew he got the photo before they posted it. I thought he did too, but then the slow mo looked like Perfect Drift may have gotten it.

Funny how the horse wins one of the biggest races of the year first time away from Zito in a place Zito holds so many great memories.

He and Willie Martinez rode Saint and Fleet Valid for Trombetta the morning Desormeaux missed the work.. Seemed like a terrific guy. A major character and deserving of some plaudits and recognition.

Holy Moly...........

Lava Man, Surf Cat and Flower Alley aside, this division is not that great. This was not a great field and probably the best chance at a grade 1 for Buzzard's Bay or Brasss Hat.....
