Reminder: Bernardini Is Mine

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.

You cannot claim Smuggler, I remember her maiden race in October of 2004, I was at Keeneland and I was watching the Belmont Races...

I made my first public post ... and prediction ... about her ... that she would be the 3YO filly champion ... two hours after the race.

When did you make yours?

Since I was a Keeneland, I was an hour and a half away from a computer, I had to say it aloud approximately 10 seconds after the race....One other note from that race, she was a heavy favorite, some bomb ran 2nd and the Tri paid over a grand....

I'll take your word for it ... but it's not admissable in court ...

... there's no permanent public record of your statement ... but ... my post should be cached over at the "other" site.

As Casey Stengel would say ... "You could look it up."

Also of note: that race was on a Thursday, Commentator won a 3yo listed Stake Race at Keeneland that day...

Until you get some sort of Bernardini license plate, you aren't his biggest fan.

I trust you completely ... but ...

... those are data which anyone could look up and post.

Pedigree Ann spends her whole life doing stuff like that ... and she thinks she's a genii.

Smuggler was 3yo champion in a year where no horse deserved it. Definetely wont go down as a great, thats for sure. Could have easily went to Summerly or that Mott filly.

Absolutely correct ... but ...

... Phipps' man-servant shines Smuggler's Eclipse Award every other Thursday.
