Stroking Bernardini

I guess you just don't see the brilliance in him that everybody else does....it'll come to you eventually, that I'm sure of...

I thought he was breath-taking after his maiden and Withers victories and even stated that he may be the best 3YO in the country after the Withers on the radio and I was glad that I knew of his brillaince that early because it allowed me to hit big in the Preakness when he was 12-1 and I crushed the TRI and SUPER, etc. and made about $8,300 after taxes....

More people began to realize his brilliance after his Preakness win, and now even more people are realizing his brillaince after his Jim Dandy jog........

So your not on board yet...no big deal...you'll come around eventually...just might take you watching him crush a few more fields before you bite - and that is cool and that is your perogative....

I knew he was a monster with endless upside after his maiden and Withers wins, and I knew he was the best 3YO this year and probably best horse period on the dirt with the upside to be great after his Preakness run-away in just his first two-turn effort and just his 4th lifetime start...

Now, I am realizing that he really is great after watching him urinate on that group Saturday....BTW, he recieved a 114 Beyer speed figure for that public workout...114!!!!!!!!! - and that is gagged to the wire by Javier.....WOW!

Can anyone say SCARY GOOD!!!

I tell you what, if his campaign stays to script as you are so sure it will.

I will come on here and "realize his brilliance."

This is what you wrote

"Barbaro was hands down probably the best turf 3YO in the world this year and maybe the best turf horse in the world period, but I am very comfortable saying that he wanted no part of Bernardini on the dirt.

Preakness (check in a runaway)

Jim Dandy (check in a public workout)

Travers

Jockey Club Gold Cup

BC Classic

Horse of the Year

.....4 more checks to go....."

If he "checks" off 3 out of 4 of those things, I will kiss my own ass...repeatedly.

You better get those lips warmed up. I hate Darley horses but even I can see he is a really special animal. 3 out of 4 is what you want, don't be surprised if 4 out of 4 comes through. He is just better than everyone out there. A lot better.

I love Darley horses, I just don't think he is the bees knees.

My lips will be warmed up for sure though, if he does what Joel says he will.

My prediction is that he will be pressured by other horses during races in the future and wilt.

But I do realize I can be wrong, and if so. All the credit to Mr. "realize brilliance"

Hes very talented. He also beat whats left of a demolished three year old crop that has had more injuries than any I can ever think of. Whats left ain't a whole lot. he should air in the Travers but after that hes gonna get a reality check. The older horses are very good this year. And they aren't gonna let him cruise to an easy lead. Apparently running away from hemingway's key gets you into the Hall of Fame. I think not.

I agree that he beat nobody on Saturday, but the way he did it was extremely impressive. He won under an absolute strangle-hold. He won by about 9 lengths and he could have won by well over 15 lengths. He looks like a really special horse. He's obviously the best 3 year old by far right now. I agree with Oracle that he should have no problem winning the Travers easily. With regard to the older horses, I'm not sure that there is anyone who can beat him. If Flower Alley is as good as he was last year, he may be able to give Bernardidni a battle. If Lava Man can take his form out of California, he may have a shot. Aside from those two, I don't any of the others are as good as Bernardini.

Probably so

Your revelling in the tainted Preakness win is imo in poor taste considering the race was marred.

Aw ... c'mon ... admit it ...

... you read my Bernardini post on the other forum on March 7.

But ... you are to be congratulated for recognizing my prescience ... and jumping on board the bandwagon early ... even though I noticed that you didn't pay the fare.
