Why does every thread degenerate into a competition between these colts? I know you are not a fan of Bernardini, but he is an exceptional three year old and he is going to win the Eclipse as such. He won't be forgotten.

ok, first off i was never 'not a fan of bernardini'. i was not a hype machine for him either, but certainly enjoyed the horse.

and no, fans won't forget him--but in the grand scheme of things, barbaro is the much better known horse--considering the amound of attention he has gotten, and continues to get, since his preakness...and he is the derby winner, and will always be remembered for that.
