If I remember correctly, Smarty's top lifetime BSF was a 118, a number that I am pretty sure Bernardini never reached. In the race he posted that 118 he blew away RH10, Eddington, Borrego, and Lion Heart....4 horses that are probably better than any horse Bernardini ever faced - except of course for Invasor who beat him.
If people think that Bernardini was better than Smarty.....fine. He was certainly a quality colt. But to say that Smarty couldn't "have got Bernie out of a jog" again demonstrates that despite Bernardini's considerable talent, he is probably the most overrated horse in quite some time.
