How can you possibly say Lava Man isnt "nearly as good" as Invasor?
I must have missed one or two of Invasor's races where he beat better horses than Sun King, Andromedas Hero and Wild Dessert.

if dylan shows up. what price do you think he'll be? O'Briens horses usually get some respect and you have the fact that there'll be a local jock on rather than Fallon..He may be heading to the BC Turf after this run. im not convinced that he is top class yet.. and breeding hardly shouts dirt!

And I think Lava Man would bust up Sun King, Andromedas Hero, Wild Dessert and Wilko the rat.

brock brings up the key to this whole question.
if DThomas shows up at Belmont,
you get a decent price on Bernardini(above even money for sure).
if not, then you get nothing, as you should.
DThomas can show up, Invasor can show, hell Cigar can unretire and show, it does not matter.
Bernardini is going to have to fall out of the gate to lose.
total freak.

D Thomas help the price of Bernardini? I have never heard of the horse. Can somebody please tell me who this horse is and where he hails from? I imagine he is a euro grass horse who will be a fashionable pick for many of the so called experts on Cup Day. These are getting pretty old.

That's correct, Gander. He just beat Ouija Board in a very sharp race a few weeks ago. Trainer Aidan O'Brien confirmed Dylan Thomas will go in the JCGC, according to Bloodstock Journal. Johnny V will ride.

This horse will rightfully take some money in the JCGC. Ateam, my guess on Bernardini's odds in the JCGC is now 6-5. (assuming Invasor, DylanT, and 2nd of June all go)

Thanks Dunbar. I look forward to seeing the new kid on the block. If he runs like the Euros played golf this weekend, our horses are in some trouble!

I wasn't sure that California horse was showing up. If he does, I think Bernardini might meet my desired odds or at least get close.

Lava Man will be there barring any problems in his next race or with his training. Should be a hell of a race.

I'm not going to jinx myself tonight but I am making a 4 digit win bet on BC Day. The horse is well talked about on here and its not in the Classic. Good luck Ateam, I think Bernardini is the real deal and I am excited to see him again in 12 days (in person )

you nailed it Zeig.

DThomas is a really nice turf 3YO with a pedigree that suggests that he MIGHT act on dirt.

David Junior is a really nice 10f older turf horse with a pedigree that suggests that he should move UP on dirt.
if any horse beats Bernardini on BC day, Im guessing its DJ.

Gander, I believe Ateam is talking about the JCGC and you are talking about the BCC.

Oops, your right Dunbar. Thanks for the correction. I was mistaken.

In the JCGC, I am guessing Bernardini will be 1/2 and Invasor 2/1.

No way will you get 3/2 Ateam. Your dreaming. Maybe in the BC Classic (thats even doubtful) but not in here.

You're welcome. Now tell me who your 4-fig BC horse is.

Just kidding.

fyi, VIPsports/Gameday had futures up on the Distaff and Sprint until this weekend. They'll probably be up again tomorrow. TheGreek will eventually have futures up on all the BC races except the juveniles. Pinnacle probably will, too.

Default IA-team, If you're going to bet:

Bet half now. thegreek.com is giving:
2.15/1 on Bernadini

and bet half at race time. This way you get much better odds but risk him not running. If you'd bet 3/2, then 2+/1 is a real nice looking number, correct?
