Well guess what, we saw what happened when Bernardini had to be ridden hard and it was no better than he ran his other races. Considering his Beyer in the race and a bit of a tougher trip than in his other walks in the park the horse totally ran to the level he has been running all year. Invasor had been slighted all year and elevated his game when he needed to. And he beat Bernardini while going wider and carrying four extra pounds.

you hear the bells and whistles going off? we have a winner folks!! bernardini ran the same race he's been running all year, not worse. the same. and this time it wasn't enough for first, unlike against the cupcakes he's been tackling much of the year. it was almost enough, but you see what happens to 'won going away' when the level of competition is so much better? HE doesn't improve, unlike what many thought. and the gap shrank considerably, as well it should.
