Obviously Flower Alley got better as the year went on, and Bellamy Road is a very nice horse. 2nd in the Travers, to a very good Flower Alley, especially off that layoff. But all of that doesn't matter, no one is talking about Bellamy Road, Flower Alley or Scrappy T. The topic is Bernardini, and he is a very special colt. He's beating whoever he runs against for fun, and will continue to.

Of course Bellamy Road is a nice horse. I never said he wasn't
What he is not is a Triple Crown winner, which is what seemed to be expected of him after last years romp in the Wood.
Just like you expect Bernardini to "beat whoever he runs agains for fun continually."
What happens when he doesn't do this, do you then just determine that he is a "nice horse" instead of "a very special colt?"
