Before you deem Bernardini great, he has to do more. Before that he beat Luxemburg who just came back recently and got clobbered by a horse not even mentioned when you talk about good 3 year olds- Fabulous Strike.

Competition doesnt matter IMO due to the way he did it. Final quarter in 24:34. Rocketed to the front for Castellano - plus I dont consider this field (Sweetnorthernsaint, Bro Derek, Like Now) that weak - 2 of the Derby favorites right there.
