I'd love to say this doesn't bother me as a Bernardini fan, but I'd be lying, because I didn't like how anxious he was for the first quarter-mile or so of The Travers.
With that said, it could've just been a reaction to High Cotton and Bluegrass Cat pinballing him in the first 100 yards.
I still think Mr. Deen rolls by open lengths, just because he's the best dirt horse in the world and he's rated successfully before, but this worries me a tad.
