He was beaten by a horse off a huge layoff, and that horse was trounced by Discreet Cat.

Look, I was one of the people who didn't think Bernie had a chance in the BCC. He ran one hell of a race IMO and he didn't appear to be handling the track in the same manner as his other races. I agree that the fields he beat all year were suspect, etc, but he proved more to me by losing in the BCC than he did in any of his other races. It's comical to me that the past month you had been hyping Bernardini and now he's some rat... incredible.
