Mike D, are we talking about the same horse? Showed natural speed in every race? Whew! He hasn't made the lead or even been in the top 2 since he broke his maiden 5 races before the Derby.
He may not be Silky Sullivan, but Perfect Drift is a closer. In his last two races he was never better than 5th through the first 3 points of call. His last two comment lines coming into the Derby are, "Reserved," and "Eased back." He has tactical speed, but to call him a speed horse and say he showed that in every single race he has raced? Nah, I don't think so - made me smile though.
