surely not!! i mean, he's by ap indy and surely was toiling in obscurity....esp when his trainer has been singing his praises since day one. why, i was shocked..SHOCKED...that anyone would go out on a limb and say they liked this horse early on...

Quote:
When the rich Renaiassance city of Florence decided to build a huge new cathedral ... they held a competition to determine who would be the chief architect. When it was Brunelleschi's turn to be interviewed by the city council ... he passed an egg around the table ... and asked each council member if he could stand the egg on its end. One by one ... the council members failed to get the egg to stand on its end. Brunelleschi then took the egg ... cracked it on the table ... and said "There ... now it's standing on its end." The council members looked at Brunelleschi and said ... "Oh, well ... we could have done that." And Brunelleschi said to them ... "Yes ... you could have ... but you didn't." So ... maybe you could have said that Bernardini was the most talented 3YO way back in early March ... ... but you didn't.

try real hard not to sprain your shoulder patting yourself on the back. nothing noisier, and more annoying, than someone who toots their own horn.

Important news??? Duh!! Nobody ever heard of Bernardini...right!
Is it Brunalleschi is designing a new dome for your refrigerator box? And what's this I hear that your family had to take out a loan on your birthday because the candles cost more than the cake? Next thing you're going to tell us is that Hank Goldberg was a student in your "Bold Brooklyn School of Handicapping".

Just bumping up this thread as a refresher.
I "discovered" not only Bernardini ... but Songster and Smuggler as well ... long before anyone else knew of them. And ... I was the first to expose Lost In The Fog ... and to predict Barbaro's breakdown ... and to spot the decline in Funny Cide's capabilities. Only the unfortunate injuries to the magnificent Mayan King ... prevented a clean sweep. Why bring these many triumphs up now? Hey ... I didn't ... someone else created the "Bold Predictions" thread. It's been a long time since we've had a really "great" colt in the U.S. ... let's hope "my horse" ... Bernardini ... can take us there again.

Bernardini vs Brunalleschi
I'll take Bernardini. Brunalleschi has been dead for a while, though the dome of the cathedral reminds me of half of a humpty dumpty. He was cracked anyway. Omlets anyone? Bernardini could spot him 100 yards and win walking on three legs.
