Travers Showdown: Bernardini vs. Bluegrass Cat

Bluegrass Cat will not hit the board. This is my bold prediction.

You will have to excuse for categorizing your predictions as a joke, last week you said that the Red Sox would sweep the Yanks. This one sounds about as good as that prediction turned out.

However, I also predicted that someone would sweep someone and I was right. I just picked the wrong team.

BTW, I don't really think Barbaro was the best 3-year-old..I just inferred that he POSSIBLY was to add to my piece for Wire to Wire digest..this was just a few graphs a pulled from that story...

I obviously believe that Bernardini is better on the dirt and Barabro was thebest grass horse - yes,even far better than stablemate Showing Up....

Barbaro was the best 3YO turf horse of the Spring ... when very few quality 3YOS ... almost none ... are running on the turf.

We'll have to see what Showing Up and After Market do from here out ... before handing out any awards.

Looking forward to watching the replay of this race. If I put together a Pick 3, I am going to have to decide if I am going after BC or Bernardini. Seems obvious, Bernardini does it not? Horse fires on 7 cylinders and I still see him winning by 3 or 4. I don't think, in my humble opinion, that BC 's running style will do him any favors tomorrow. Then again if it's a crazy early pace and BC keeps plotting along?

"bold predictions" kind of annoy me, too. Maybe because I seldom see a poster come back to say his/her "bold prediction" was wrong. If it happens to come through, though, they are quick to point out how right they were.

In this case, it's hardly "bold" to predict that a horse won't win when even his admirers probably give no more than a 40% chance for the horse to win.

I dont even think I have ever come back to boast about a prediction. I think I forget about them. But my prediction isnt that BC wont win, I say he wont hit the board.

My apologies. That's definitely bolder than saying he won't win. Of course, I'm going to hold you to your history of not coming back to boast if it comes true! Though I never said I wouldn't remind you if you're wrong! ;>)
