I don't get comparing Bernardini to Rachel Alexandra -- when he had blown away short fields without ever getting looked in the eye (then folded when he finally did) and she's eyeballed horses, pressed sick paces and held off a Derby winning closer after doing so.

There is a point to make about her not being unbeatable when compared to Zenyatta, but comparing her to Bernardini to do so is not the way to do it, IMO.

Lol ... "a known rabble-rouser", eh



By the way, NTamm1215 ... wasn't just talking about the Woodward ... but any open G1 (or G2) dirt route.


Believe I read that a Lukas filly took the Clark nine or ten years ago.
