he's nowhere near red and the bid right now.

No he's not (what horses are?), but he certainly is at least as good (if not better) than AA or Smarty Jones.........I'd like to know what track records they broke or champions they beat. This colt has the potential to be something very special.......but, there will always be skeptics

And I disagree about Bernardini merely beating a horse who was taken out of his game. Bluegrass Cat was taken out of his game precisely because JV knew that there was no way his horse could possibly win otherwise. Bernardini BC change tactics.......that, to me, says tons about what kind of horse he is. Now Bernardini is going to be penalized because he did merely what he was supposed to do? Hmm, after the Haskell, most people were saying that BC was as good as Bernardini that day and would give him a tough test. Now they're backtracking and detracting from Bernardini because, with 20/20 hindsight, Bernardini was the better horse?
