You are, as I'm sure you know, wrong about Indy vs Bernardini. Drysdale wasn't even close to getting to the bottom of his horse.

AP Indy in his first crop had spectacular first time out winner A P Assay, whom I believe broke her maiden going 4.5f in track record time at HP. In his second crop, he had the ultra fast Old Trieste.

You probably would have been saying the same thing about Indy back then as what you are saying now about Bernardini.

By the way, I'm pretty sure AP Warrior was by AP Indy. I'm guessing you meant AZ.
