I agree with you. I don't think that Lawyer Ron is nearly as good as Bernardini but I hate it when people ask who a horse has beaten. If a person has any scouting ability at all, they can tell whether a horse is good regardless of who he's beaten.
Bernardini hasn't beaten any great horses on their best day. Sweetnorthernsaint didn't run anything close to his best in the Preakness. Brother Derek didn't fire in the Preakness. Bernardini beat nobody in his first race this summer. His last race is the only race where you could say he beat a pretty good horse in Bluegrass Cat. BGC may not have run his best that day but I think he ran close to his best.
By the way, Lawyer Ron kept beating that grey horse over and over again. That grey horse ran 3rd in the Ky Derby.
LR is a very good horse. He's not nealy as good as Bernardini but neither is anyone else. LR is in the top handful of best 3 year olds.
