I knew you weren't being sarcastic because you have been talking very highly of Bernardini lately even though you also like BGC. Most good handicappers are skeptical and BGC did have me a little worried. I think BGC ran his best race today. Pletcher indicated that BGC was sitting on the performance of his career and BCG was also washed out a little in the post parade as normal. BCG is a very good horse and he tried his heart out today. Unfortunately for him, he just ran into a great horse.

Probably the former, Oracle. It's not the first time I've been accused of that. I'm sorry if you honestly did mean it, but really.......given that you've thought most of the hype around Bernardini was unvarnished hyperbole, I didn't take that comment that seriously. Also, I wasn't prepared to go that far even after today's performance....I'm just used to seeing sarcastic comments about Bernardini and I reacted to those as much as to your specific one just now.

Well you obviously don't read enough of what I post to know that his last workout completely blew me away and that I said if BC lost, that I wanted Bernadini to win so racing could have a star.
I don't know who didn't realize that i was speaking to a specific person with a history of condoning actions against the US, instead of branding anyone who liked this horse or any owned by Sheikh Mo as a sympathizer. But once again if I don't sit around and monitor how people make things up and lie all day, they tend to get out of hand. I'm sorry that not everyone here posesses intelligence, but i dont have the time to watch the place 24/7 and correct those who make things up or incorrectly interpret my comments, like you just screwed up Betsy.

Well, obviously you shouldn't have to, Oracle. I apologized and for me, that's the end of it. I read your recent posts and I have not claimed in this thread you were anti-Bernardini. Clearly, you appreciate a good horse. I explained already why I thought you were being sarcastic.......but nevermind. It's not a big deal anymore and I'm going to move on.
