Preakness, Jim dandy and travers are all restricted races and restricted to a bunch of mutts. And the JCGC? The Jcgc lost most of its luster with the BCC. Definitely not the same race but then again wanderin boy is so much better than pentire was. And you are saying that is even in the same realm to a horse winning the epsom, king george and ARC in starts 2,3 and 4? ???????? The Arc is, in the opinion of some, one of the most important races in the world if not THE most difficult. He won it in his fourth start.
But hey, this is all subjective. If you think Bernardini was a better racehorse, then you are entitled to your opinion. I wonder how Sheikh Mo would rank them.

Actually I never said he was a better racehorse. I just questioned your assessment that Lammtarra would beat Bernardini. i just dont understand how you can come to that conclusion unless there were specific parameters laid down. I dont feel like rehashing the crop versus crop debate but I will say that Lammtarra didnt beat a superior group of horses much as bernardini did not beat a superior group of horses.
