Where is the fun in watching that?

It really is one of my pet peeves the whole "Who did he beat?". I think we posted something on this nature a little while back. We have heard the same knock on all three horses.
Tell me who were they supposed to beat? Who were they ducking? Were they racing in obscure races that nobody heard of? The last I checked The SA "Cap, Hwd GC, Pac Classic, Pim Special, Suburban, Whitney, Preakness, Jim Dandy, Travers were all historic(maybe with the exception of the Pac classic only 25 yrs old) prestigious, High Profile races. Among the top races the sport has to offer. So again I ask, Who were they supposed to beating?

As long as all three horses get the same "who did they beat" knock. Its not fair to just give Lava Man that knock and not Bernardini and Invasor (and vice versa). Because lets face it, none of these 3 horses have yet to beat the very best competition. I guess we'll find out who the best horse is in the coming weeks/months. Fact is these are the 3 best dirt horses in training right now and its hard not to get excited about a possible clash of all 3 at Churchill. I am getting very excited to see Invasor and Bernardini mix it up next Saturday.

Oh yeah, I hear ya. I love the one knock on Lava Man " Well he didn't ship out of SoCal" Why? Why on Earth would he ship out to race? He is a SoCal horse and there are Three great Prestigious Grade I's out there. And the other knock on Bernardini that gets me shaking my head is, "Well, he hasn't raced against older horses yet" Why would he have raced against older horse when they are the big summer races and his goal was A triplce crown race and the Travers.
But anywho like you I am so excited for this years edition of the JCGC. Assuming no major upset happens. Something really special will result in it. Either we have a crowning of the next Super 3 yr. Old or the next Super Horse that won 4 straight Historic Grade I's.

Bernardini didnt ship out of NY (save for the Preakness) for the same reason. Why? There are top notch races with huge purses where he can run on tracks he likes against cupcakes like Dr Pleasure. Why would Lava Man? I mean it makes no sense. I'm sick of the arguuments and cant wait to see all 3 answer the questions on the track.
