Bernbardini would have won all his races at any distances.
Why will the distance of the Travers matter? This race will be over at the 1/8th pole if not sooner.

BCG was gaining back on Deputy Glitters in the Tampa Bay Derby. If he wouldn't have thrown the shoe, I guarantee you that he would have won the race. It was a very valid statement because BCG just ran the race of his life at 1 1/8 miles in a very good time. I really do think that this is the horse's best distance. Therefore, I am saying that it is very hard to tell how much BCG has actually improved.
