Bernie is a very nice horse
He is potentially a great horse. Albertrani is doing a beautiful job of managing him. He didn't take the bait and run him in the Belmont, a race that is basically obsolete. Alex never ran again after winning it last year. It was Smarty's demise. Empire Maker ran once....Jim Dandy? Funny Cide has had one Grade 1 win in the last three years. It's only significance now is for a horse going for the TC or some plodder to pick up 600K, ie, Sarava, or that Lukas slug in 2000.
That last almost great horse to run was Point Given. The rigors of dancing every dance got to him. Keep doing the right thing Tom
