No Secreatriat comparisons here...I love Bernardini but I am also very realistic....I also believe right now that Ruffian and Seattle Slew were better horses - both from the 70s....but Bernardini could change my mind if he continues to be spectacular and continues to improve - which he will continue to improve...there is no doubt about that.....
Bernardin's BSF's indicate that he is improving gradually with every start. Withers 104 Preakness 113 Jim Dandy 114 Travers 116. I believe that there are some glitches and biases in the BSF system with certain horses and certain tracks, but after watching Bernardini run in his last for races, I can see a direct correlation between his improvement and his BSF's. In other words, I think that these BSF's are about right.

Does anyone have Bernie's last four T-Graph numbers? I don't have access to them, and would really like to know what they are.
