Sheets are only good for evaluating a caliber level of horses that you haven't seen run before...non-mainstream horses....But, for top class horses that are in the spotlight for everyone to watch, good horse analysts don't need to see any quantifiable figure to see the brilliance in a horses and his performances.....he's a beast..
Not to undermine the Zapper, but he didn't exactly blow away Roses in May in the '04 BC Classic......and I think Bernardini would urinate on Roses in May in any race at any time...
Bernardini could be as good or better than Zapper....no doubt in my mind about that...

You and I have been agreeing on this for awhile now...The horse we have all been waiting for has arrived. A great horse as great as the big ones of the 1970's. We all thought he was Barbaro, but in fact, the one that we waited for came into greatness under our noses in the Preakness. Bernardini is a monster and a freak. He is the only horse that has completely left me speechless after a race. Bring Flower Alley on. He won't beat this horse. No horse will as long as Bernardini runs his race. Bernardini has the best gallop I have ever seen. It is so fluid and powerful. He could have won by 25 lenghts this weekend if Javier would have asked him to go.
Yes, he is here...finally. Enjoy him.
