Aside from a betting aspect, if I am a Bernardini fan, I worry about the jockey who rides to make Bernardini lose. I reference the Bailey ride on Eddington (Or Rock Hard Ten? I cant remember) in the 2004 Belmont where Smarty Jones was going for the Triple Crown.

After the fact, Bailey has made it known he ran a race to keep Smarty from winning. I believe he said it on a ESPN telecast as well. Will someone do this to Bernardini? Make an early run at him to push him to the lead and burn out?

Never know. Hope it doesnt, but you never know.
