He's the HOY.

How do you let that horse get the lead and run those slow fractions?!!!!!!!!!

The figures will be low for the race, but this guys is a monster. 3 yr old of the year, but maybe not HOY yet.

When you saw 48 for the half you knew it was over.

I"m impressed, But will Betsy and Joel be happy with 201 and change? Bluegrass Cat was clearly upset before going to the gate and Bernardini was as cool as could be.

Happy? I'm ecstatic. Question is, are the speed freaks? 2:01 and change is a good time and he ran pretty easily down the lane, too. If others aren't impresssed, that's not going to bother me anymore. I'm thrilled, period. By the way, Pletcher doesn't mind when BC gets washy, since he's been quoted as saying that that's when he runs his best. Bernardini dumped JC in the post-parade, so that worried me; fortunately, he did retain his cool.

Bernardini doesn't look to have a kink in his armor. They went 48 and change but picked it up to go 112 and 1:36 it was real race times and he did it on his terms. The way he won the Travers reminded me of the Pacific Classic last week,but we all know that Lava Man will be blown away by Bernardini.
