I make Bernardini a pretty heavy favorite to win the Classic.

Showing Up is a different story. Even after he won the Arlington race in a faster time than The Tin Man ran on the same day at the same track, everyone on this board including myself agreed that Showing Up would have no chance agaisnt The Tin Man. Showing up had been very impressive but he still didn't look quite as good as the top older turf horses.

Not many would have had much of a chance against The Tin Man on that day. The fractions were ridiculous.

if you remeber our discussion on this matter
I suggested the same thing as this proposal
and you and the rest jumped down my throat
now a "published writer" says the same thing
and everybody buys into it? stealing my thunder
possibly from reading this very board
bunch of robots! programmed by the media

Actually BR, everyone on this board is basically saying that if Bernardini wins HOY, then it will be ridiculous if Barbaro wins the 3 yo title because Bernardini will be deserving of both titles if he wins the BCC. In fact, I believe everyone has said that what the author of the article has proposed is completely ridiculous.

Yes, but what he was saying was that he proposed the idea first that it MAY happen.

The reason I posted the article is because I thought that having Barbaro as 3 yo champ and Bernardini as HOY was completely ridiculous. I can't believe that anyone in the industry could actually give Barbaro 3 yo honors if Bernardini wins the BCC and is HOY. It makes no sense. There do need to be some changes made in the game, but this is not one of them.

I guess that you are entitled to an opinion (LOL) although it is a very childish one. Really BR, I don't feel like getting into it with you. I don't have to because that statement came out of nowhere and you just lost what little credibility you had...

Boy, do I have some haters on this board...LOL

Let me ask you a question, if I am as dumb as a box of rocks, then what does that make those who agreed with me on this subject, which was everyone but you on this board? Humor me.

Obviously the whole idea is based upon a "what if..." If you don't buy the premise, then you have no comment.

If Bernardini does win the BCC, then he should get 3yo and HOY honors. If he's not entitled to be called the "best 3yo male" then how can he be HOY. Voting in a HOY who didn't even win his division makes the Awards a joke.
