I was not Point Given's biggest fan but he won the Preakness, Belmont, Haskell and Travers in succession and earned speed figures extremely similar to Bernardini. Yeah, he should have hung around, but are you suggesting to me that he wouldn't have manhandled the likes of Wanderin Boy and Andromeda's Hero?

I actually think Point Given is an excellent comparison to Bernardini and a compliment to both of them.
