Ateam, I thought I read that it was Castellano who chirped at Bernardini to take the lead in the Travers because he didn't want to get caught between horses, not that Bernardini was rank..........

That very well could be Betsy, but unfortunately, I can't hear the jockey when I'm watching the race.
All I know is he looked to be more eager than he had in the past, but as you said, that very well may have been by design.
Either way, like I said, I think the boss wins by open lengths, I just hope he rates as well as he can.
