Wow that is 300 years, which is a long time. Are you sure about that?

Zapper would be in the crapper and Bernardini would have his heart broken.

No one has more right to be enthusiastic about Bernardini than I ...

... so listen up ... because I speak with the authority of first discovery ...

... the most that can be said for Bernardini ... as of today ... is that he's the best 3YO colt since Sunday Silence and Easy Goer.

That's it ... no more than that ... but ...

... stay tuned ... because there may be an update in the next few weeks.

End of discussion.

The Breeders Cup classic will be nothing more than a coronation for Bernardini, its a damn shame he isnt owned by Americans

Maybe better. Well see after the Classic and it looks like we might have a heck of a race.

Bernadini is undoubtedly the best three year old that I have ever seen. I can't see him losing again the rest of his career unless something goes awry within a race physically. Hes incredible.

I may have to agree with this. He is phenomenal.

I knew you weren't being sarcastic because you have been talking very highly of Bernardini lately even though you also like BGC. Most good handicappers are skeptical and BGC did have me a little worried. I think BGC ran his best race today. Pletcher indicated that BGC was sitting on the performance of his career and BCG was also washed out a little in the post parade as normal. BCG is a very good horse and he tried his heart out today. Unfortunately for him, he just ran into a great horse.

Probably the former, Oracle. It's not the first time I've been accused of that. I'm sorry if you honestly did mean it, but really.......given that you've thought most of the hype around Bernardini was unvarnished hyperbole, I didn't take that comment that seriously. Also, I wasn't prepared to go that far even after today's performance....I'm just used to seeing sarcastic comments about Bernardini and I reacted to those as much as to your specific one just now.

You're too experienced to come up with that conclusion.

Secretariat was a much better race horse than Bernardini ... and he lost twice after destroying the Triple Crown.

Anything can cause a horse to ose a race ... including many non-physical mishaps.

If Bernardini goes into the starting gate often enough ... he'll lose.

he already has lost.

he is aiming for the jcgc, and then no doubt the classic.. and then? he wins he retires.
discreet cat, who has been on hold all summer, is their older for next year. i betcha! bernardini becomes their draw at darley @ jonabell.
