Bernardini/Smarty revisited?

GPK · #1 11-03-2006, 07:16 AM

Not sure if this has been touched on, but does the possibility exist that he is ganged up on by others to try and do their best to prevent him from winning??

I know it is the BC Classic and there is alot of money on the line, but it could still happen, couldn't it??

Yes it could and I don't think it's out of the question, the addition of PVal on LR is very interesting...

They will do everything in their power out there to make sure he loses. Pin him down on the rail. If he tries to get out front you'll see a couple go after him. He isnt racing against 3 or 5 horses in this race and he definatley wont have it his own way. Bombs away when he doesnt it the board!

If he didn't hit the board, there will be some huge tickets out there because I suspect every exotic will be keyed off of him.

Sorry guys, but I don't see them doing this.

And IMO, Bernardini did NOT look all that great on The Works. They were schooling him in the gate yesterday, too... kinda odd, isn't it?

You dont think if they have a chance to pin him down on the rail they wont do it??? Do you also think they would let him lose on the lead? If they are working him from the gate they are probably going to try and get him out of there fairly quickly. Hopefully I will see you tomorrow and we can discuss this face to face.

Lets see he is between Alex Solis that should get his horse out quick to run on the pace and he has P. Val on the other side. Then you have 12 other horses that want to win this race. I see them sending Bernardini to the lead and take them wire to wire. If he wins this one he's as good as they come.

I'll be on his bandwagon if he hits the board at all.

That goes with my point from before. Do you really think they are going to let him dictate his own fractions on the front? No challangers! If he goes out and gets 24, 48, I would be flabergasted. Now lets be realisitc if he goes out in 23, 46 and wins then he can be considered great as long as the race doesnt end up in 202 or higher.

These horses are to good to let this race plod down the stretch to a 202/1.
Just watched the second race a Churchhill Downs and the track looks great for all the rain. It will be fast and hopefully fair to all for tomarrow. They are listing the main track as fast and the turf as firm? Too much rain to be firm tomarrow.
Hey btw you need to pull up yo pants.
