And forget about the ground loss. Yes he was wide on both turns but that's T-Graph and Ragozin territory. Beyer figures NEVER bring ground loss into the equation.

I brought up the fact Harlem Rocker's past perfs are very similar to Bernardini but I guarantee you he will not do what Bernardini did at Pimlico. Lets see how Harlem Rocker handles graded stakes company against more than 3 overmatched rivals.

As opposed to what Bernardini beat in the Withers..
