I played 5 different tickets for $524 and had no more than three on any of them. I think Bernardini was the only horse that won that I actually thought would.

Pointg, Lava Man got a 109. (it's on the Leaderboard at DRF.) Brother Derek must have gotten about a 105.
The 109 is Lava Man's 3rd straight. Much as I love the horse, I don't see him matching up vs Bernardini. --Dunbar

Bernardini is much better than Point Given. He has defeated older horses and has agreed to stay around and not fake an injury to retire. If you believe he "got hurt" after the Travers I have a new baseball team in Idaho to sell you. Cmmon now. Point Given should never be mentioned with Bernardini.

I actually think Point Given is an excellent comparison to Bernardini and a compliment to both of them.

Now, Bernardini can't be compared with horses like Seattle Slew and Bid right now because most people wouldn't be able to handle it, but I think he will by the time he is done ......just my opinion.. I think he's better than Ghostzapper right now......again, just my opinion....

Here's a serious question because I really don't know the answer and I'm hoping someone here does. How can they give Bernardini a Beyer Figure that's considered remotely accurate without having any (or very very few) Mile and a quarter races on the dirt at Belmont?? And that can go for any horse at any track.. The beyer number Bernardini received made me think of it is all.

I thought Point Given was a huge talent yes. But his phony exit left a bitter taste in my mouth. I still am more impressed with Bernardini up to this point than I ever was with Point Given. I wont go into who each faced because its not their fault they both beat up on cupcakes, although at least Bernardini wrote an open invitation for all older horses to come take him on. He'll do it again in 4 weeks. For the record I think Wanderin Boy is a much better horse than either Touch Tone and E Dubai were.
