Bernardini worked at Belmont today, a nice easy breeze in 1:02 and change. According to Tom Albetrani, a horse cut in front of him in his last work (I think - for some reason, I thought he meant it happened in today's work ) and the rider had to take up. Bernardini could have been seriously hurt ....and thank goodness he wasn't. I don't know how often this kind of thing happens, but I'd guess it's fairly common. We may not know how lucky we really our with our favorite racehorses; you assume a workout is going to be a pretty routine and it ends up like this.
Everytime I visit a racing board or site, I get nervous that something bad has happened to one of my favorites.......it's always great news when I don't see anything bad on here. I wish it didn't have to be that way...
