I agree that Albertrani is a good bet against but I think you really have to make Bernardini an exception. I dont care how many million dollar horses this guy trains and hasnt been able to win with. I think Bernardini is very special and wins this race. Bluegrass Cat of course has a shot, but I think he'll be bet way more than you think and offer little value on Saturday.
I personally will take Bernardini's pedigree over BC, and unless the actual trainers are getting in the starting gate and racing each other, I'll take the better horse, for what it's worth at least Albertrani has won a classic race, Pletcher is ofer a lot more attempts, that info is as relevant as their stats this meet. It's the horses who are running!!!!
