dear bernardini fans....

You realize they went over the track before the Distaff, right? I heard they scraped the top down, that would change the variant, and condition. Jim, I still do not think he handled the surface, among other things. I think he was in deep, due to bounce, but I didnt see a comfortable horse half way up the backside. Im not really even a huge fan of Dini, Im just being realistic with his excuses.

Undoubtedly Javy asked for his all out run a little too soon. I dont think it would have mattered, he wasnt the same. I think Invasor still passes, even if timed PERFECT.

I agree about Invasor getting by him no matter the timing of Javiers move.
This is the kind of racing experience that could give Bernardini the experience and foundation to even move forward from were he was, which is a scary prospect.

I just don't agree with giving him any excuses about a bounce or not holding the track, etc. They all ran on the same track and if Bernardini uses bounce as an excuse then I guess we'll have to also say that Invasor would have also performed better had he not been coming off such a long layoff and missing his last start with a fever.
