Reminder: Bernardini Is Mine

#1 07-29-2006, 10:19 AM

As the big races at Saratoga ... and later this Fall ... approach ... I just want to alert members of this forum ... who may not be aware of it ...

... that as far as fans of the sport are concerned ... Bernardini is "mine" ...

... because I believe I was the first ... on March 7 on the "other" forum ... to publicly proclaim that "Bernardini is the most talented 3YO colt in America."

If anyone publicly made such a statement before then ... please present your evidence ... and if it's valid ... I will yield my proprietorship.

I'm not sure how well he'll run in the Jim Dandy ... I don't like "spaced" races and "fresh" horses ... but I do have faith in Tom Albertrani ... who is another bold Brooklynite.

So ... hands off Bernardini ... he's mine unless you can prove otherwise.

ok, you can have him. altho i always think it's funny when someone calls dibs on a horse cause they saw him first.

I seem to recall that day in Fla when you made your proclamation about Bernardini that there was another young horse on the same card that you made a similar statement about...for the record...who was that?

"The eternal struggle between American Puritanism and the American love of excess.."

Danzig,could this struggle also be characterized (somewhat) as the struggle between A$$ Hole and the American love of A$$ Xtra Pretty?

It was Songster ... and even though he lost that day to Exclusive Quality ...

... on March 7 I also publicly stated that Songster would be the leading 3YO sprinter.

Not too bad so far ... eh, Ez?

I don't think an AP Indy/Cara Rafaela colt is exactly finding a needle in a hay stack. This one has been on the radar for a few years. His January debut was one of the most awaited races of the year.

surely not!! i mean, he's by ap indy and surely was toiling in obscurity....esp when his trainer has been singing his praises since day one. why, i was shocked..SHOCKED...that anyone would go out on a limb and say they liked this horse early on...

OK ... it's time once again to tell the "Brunelleschi" story.

When the rich Renaiassance city of Florence decided to build a huge new cathedral ... they held a competition to determine who would be the chief architect.

When it was Brunelleschi's turn to be interviewed by the city council ... he passed an egg around the table ... and asked each council member if he could stand the egg on its end. One by one ... the council members failed to get the egg to stand on its end.

Brunelleschi then took the egg ... cracked it on the table ... and said "There ... now it's standing on its end."

The council members looked at Brunelleschi and said ... "Oh, well ... we could have done that."

And Brunelleschi said to them ... "Yes ... you could have ... but you didn't."

So ... maybe you could have said that Bernardini was the most talented 3YO way back in early March ...

... but you didn't.

try real hard not to sprain your shoulder patting yourself on the back. nothing noisier, and more annoying, than someone who toots their own horn.

I'm merely performing a community service ... by keeping all the other forum members posted on the important news.

Bernardini vs Brunalleschi

I'll take Bernardini. Brunalleschi has been dead for a while, though the dome of the cathedral reminds me of half of a humpty dumpty. He was cracked anyway. Omlets anyone?
Bernardini could spot him 100 yards and win walking on three legs.

#16 07-29-2006, 10:41 AM

well, I was the first on the other forum to predit his Preakness win
which I do not validate with the breakdown of the great Barbaro
in fact, at 4/5 you can surely have him today
I'll take Dr. Pleasure
btw, who were you on the other board (sorry if it wasn't ESPN)
you don't sound like the Brooklyn Tracker
who I was hoping would make an appearance here

I think it is funny, but you have to do better than Bernardini. How about a horse like Bright One, or one that isn't out of a grade 1 winning mare and AP Indy. Cara Rafaela was placed in 10 grade 1 and grade 2's. Just to let you know there is a full sister to Bernardini born this year too. I don't know what her name is but i talked about her first. LOL.
