depends on what bernardini does in the jcgc....


i'm not necessarily talking about who will win HOY....i'm just saying that i've seen a lot of knocks on this horse for what happened last year. that and 'who has he beaten' this year.

i guess i just think he ought to get more points for what he's done this year, than what he didn't do last year. also, why all the free passes for flower alley going into yesterday, still went off at 2-1! he's allowed a bad race, yet lava man isn't....and i sure don't remember a lot of criticism for the field flower alley beat in the salvator....

i guess i'm just looking for some consistency in peoples thoughts about different horses.
