If this truly happens and the horse is sound after the Breeders' Cup Classic, I would be PISSED, and my support (which isn't really support other than the fact that they happen to own my two favorite horses) for Darley would REALLY deminish...

I thought they'd do the right thing because of their finanical position and display some sense of sportingness - and they still might - but there would be NOBODY more disappointed in them if they retire Bernardini after the BC...nobody...

I know that he is probably a $100,000,000 peice of horse flesh and potentially the most expensive horse we've seen in years (way moreso than FuPeg was), but with money not being a huge object to those guys and the fact that he is such an efficient and easy mover and is sound - retiring that horse would be a damn shame....a damn shame...it makes me mad thinking about the possibilty of it
