Honestly, I was wondering before the Travers why I am not a Bernardini obsessed person. I think it is because he won the Preakness. My heart cannot get over Barbaro. I think I kinda block Bernardini out. I can only think of that as a reason I am not head over heels for this horse. Does anyone else feel this way?

I do! I was dazed after the Preakness, wasn't even sure who won the race...and didn't care! After watching replays, I was very impressed but still felt that Barbaro would have won...! Bernardini's next race was a paid workout and frankly, so was the Travers. Not his fault that he's the best 3yo in training but still...people here constantly ask "who did he beat" when talking about past horses, yet some are willing to anoint this guy as the "greatest ever"...lets watch a couple more races!
