Is he talking about Bandini or Bernardini? I assume he is talking about Bandini. Bandini actually had a lot of potential but he had some physical problems and never lived up to his full potential. Even in the big 3 year old races in Florida last year, I don't think you were seeing Bandini's best races. I think they were already having problems with his ankle. They managed to get a one more good race out of him in the Bluegrass but he was done after that. One of my trainers saw him being lead over to the paddock for the Ky Derby and he told me that one of his ankles was huge. The connections tried to act like he hurt his ankle in the Derby but he had the bad ankle before the Derby.

By the way, Bandini is already retired so you don't have to worry about him getting cast in his stall and retiring.

He meant Bandini because he was talking about Pletcher's horses relavent to the Tripel Crown....
