In your humble opinion does he beat bernardini? Was he a better horse?

I fail to see your logic. If he runs badly on dirt than we have something concrete to base our judgement on. IMO the only way you can judge a horse is based upon his accomplishment, not what might have happened. However accomplishments are not necessarily equal from year to year. Is the Arc winner =BC Classic winner? Is the 2007 BC Classic winner = 2008 BC Classic winner? It is all debatable but I cant tell you if Miesque was a better horse than Sunday Silense because they are different types of horses. If you want to debate Miesque and Lure, you have something solid to base that on. If you want to debate Curlin and Cigar, fine.

it is like asking who is a better baseball player? a pitcher or a batter? They both play baseball but they do entirely differnt things.

I mean no one thinks that Goovy was a better horse than Skip Away but at 6 furlongs I would take Groovy everytime.
