Perfect Drift
I was at the race and I have to say....I am more impressed with him now than I was before the race. Did he win? No. He doesn't win very often....but that is okay. Perfect Drift shows up. Period. Every time he hits the board in yet another graded stakes race, I become a little more impressed with him.
Other than the grass races they run him in at the start of each year, this has to be one of the most consistent horses in years. They run him in G1s and G2s year after year and he ALWAYS competes.
So it was another 2nd place finish today at Arlington. I am sure some people will see it as a reason to talk more about how "this horse can't win and blah blah blah." Well you know what...they can't all be Affirmed or Sunday Silence. This old boy is just an incredibly consistent and classy racehorse, and I love him for it.
