Either way, we'll never know.

Preakness was the race.

The mudfest helps me with nothing. I dont take a race like that and proclaim the horse a God. We will wait for another dry track with a full field, and a wide range of styles.

Too bad ESPN's race of the week was a complete bore. Its races like that that will prevent the new fans from wanting to watch. They would be better off showing a low level claiming race, at least those are competitive most of the time. Thats 2 years in a row the Jim Dandy has been a snoozer.

Yes and if Bernadini had raced in the Kentucky Derby he would of lost that one too. We are comparing two horses at different stages of their career. Barbaro get hurt and that can't be changed. Just for the record I bet Brother Derik.

That's your opinion, that's not fact. Bernardini might have beat Barbaro, but many people won't accept that. We will never know.

Give me a break and stop being so blind with regards to Bernardini. It's pathetic that you have to assume that I can't be unbiased because I love the horse. Are you 5 years old?

I should add that Bernardini got a pretty low Beyer (not sure what it was, but it didnt make the top Beyers list on DRF's site), but I suspect that even Andrew Beyer would have to admit that this time, the # doesn't really indicate the quality of Bernardini's race.

I think the beyer is less relevant in this case because he won so easily. If he was pushed we might have a better idea of his true beyer.

I have little doubt that he is the real deal, but two races do not make you a superstar.
