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.
