My point was, or is, not to denigrate Bernardini. I was trying to point out that you can have a slow time and still have what is a really strong performance.

However, Bertrando would have eaten Bluegrass Cat for lunch, and while I don't remember the Bernardini JCGC card/day at all, most often sloppy tracks bring fast times.
