Where did all the people go that like to watch horses run? Even more than wagering. We have apparently lost a whole generation of people who appreciate running. How old are you Rupert? Another reason Somer probably is not that interested anymore. I know he appreciated athletes performing.

I've seen Bernardini perform. I will see him perform again in the BC Classic. If he wins the Classic, he will have nothing more to prove to me. I would see no purpose in bringing him back next year. Maybe some of you think that he has to win 10 more races because some horse did that 30 years ago. I disagree but you are entitled to your opinion.
If you guys ever become horse owners and happen to get a graded stakes winner who is very valuable, you can run him until he is 8 years old if you want to. I promise not to criticize you if that's what you do. If you fork out the money to buy the horse and you think he needs to run for several years to prove himself, then that is your business.
