so something must break the tie. at this point, what would that tiebreaker be??? one word.
kentucky
that not enough??
how about four times as many words.
first saturday in may.
they both have four graded wins, both with two grade ones. but the ky derby is THE race that all three year olds aspire to....and one won, the other wasn't even there. he was waiting to play spoiler in md. and in past years, that has earned scorn from those on here...., rested and fresh, waiting in the wings to take on the derby winner.
ah, but it doesn't matter. bernardini is the next superhorse. a chip off the old block, he's gonna beat all comers in the bcc. just like we read flower alley was going to do last year. and mdo before that.

They are at a tie right now...that was my whole point. I was just stating that some of the arguements, both PRO-BARBARO and PRO-BERNARDINI, were completely biased just as this post of yours is. The tie will be broken when and if Bernardini wins the JCGC and the BCC, either way. I really don't care who gets the Eclipse award anyway. My speculation is just that it will be given to Bernardini based on Bernardini's recent amazing display of raw talent and his improvement with every race plus the fact that he is being perfectly managed.
Why is the bringing up of Flower Alley even relevant? Bernardini and Flower Alley are two very different horses. I was on St. Liam's bandwagon. Most knew that St. Liam was going to win the BCC. That is why St. Liam was the favorite at post time. Flower Alley was a very good horse, but he was nowhere near the horse Bernardini was at this stage of the game last year. Every knowledgeable horse fan/player will concede that. Besides, Flower Alley finished 3/4ths of a length behind a horse that actually sniffed GZ's a s s which is saying something being that Flower Alley was only a three year old.
