Please tell that to the American Racing Manual and the Daily Racing Form ...

If Dini beats older horses then he's the Champ in my eyes. So ole Barb ran some good races ok but Dini hasn't even been challanged in his last 3 or 4. Just because you win the Yum's Brand Derby doesn't mean you get the 3 year old HOY.

They are wrong, she was 10 for 10 in races she finished.

If Bernardini wins one of the big fall races, 3 yo honors should undoubtedly be his. How can anyone argue that?

Barbaro was an excellent horse but we arent talking could haves or should haves we are talking about "dids" when we are naming a champion. Bernardini, in my humble opinion may have already done more without beating older horses.

i am also talking about Bobby's will to live off the track. That, plus his on track performance deserves my support as #1.

If you say so ...

.. but please don't tell that to our fellow forum member ... Phalaris1913 ... because she's the editor of the American Racing Manual ...

... and she may be embarrassed to find out that she's been wrong all these years.
