I disagree very much, especially in regards to Bernardini being better than Smarty, who was cost a triple crown by dirty riding antics, which we've already been through.

Not yet at this point in his career can you say he is better than Smarty. Hes raced what 4 times? And I am all for horses sticking around until they get old, so I hope to see Bernardini race until he is 6 or 7. I wish Smarty had stuck around and the Belmont did not come up smelling like rotten eggs. He was awesome.
I loved Smarty, and that Belmont annoys me to this day as I'm sure it annoys you.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I feel that Bernardini is better than Smarty or Alex. I don't care how many times he's run. I think he's better.

3YOs who are better than Corinthian

Barbaro, Bernardini, Discreet Cat, Sweetnorthernsaint, Point Determined, AP Warrior, Minister's Bid, Jazil, Steppenwolfer, Lawyer Ron, Brother Derek, the horse that won the Lexington, the German horse who was beaten a nose in the Arlington Classic, High Cotton, Showing Up. I'll stop at 15 but I'm sure we could find more. Shows how silly a Bernardini vs Corinthian debate is.

I agree with this statement....Smarty was good against a subpar group of 3yos, but I think Bernardini has a chace to be special...too early to tell though...we'll see..
