It's such a shame too, considering how Bernardini definitely would've "hated being far back" and would've "died in the stretch."

We might be looking at a four-horse field even if Sun King runs.

Another romp for Bernardini. Definitely not his fault, but still...

It'd be nice to see if he can run the same way against some decent horses. I hope Sun King runs.

What, nobody thinks Andromeda's Hero will give Bernardini a run for his money?

I'd like to believe that, Slot. Hey, you never know... I DID dream that a chestnut won the JCGC. AH is chestnut.

Bad news for all of the closers in the race. Where is the other pace in the race with Spanish Chestnut out? Bernardini is going to be allowed to set those easy fractions and coast home yet again.

Snooze..... Paceless race with a small field, oughta be a stellar event.

I guess this will be a cake walk for Bernardini, oh well, he gets no competition again. I was looking forward to this Saturday, maybe I'll take in a movie instead, this will be a very boring race.

On a positive note, he'll roll here and he'll have to face some competition in the BC, maybe a good thing for the non-believers...

I don't know about you, but my dreams never work out too good. This year, I dreamed that a really dark bay horse won the derby, red chestnuts came in second and third, and a medium bay got fourth. Now, the medium bay did get fourth, but, well, you know how the rest worked out...

I'm really glad that they pulled Spanish Chestnut out of the race. It wasn't fair to the horse.

Mineshaft at least faced bigger fields, imo he's a better horse than Bernardini, his Stephen Foster was amazing considering how he was ridden and how wide he was...

This is playa's MO, all he does is bash Mineshaft. I happen to like playa, but it does get old---a one trick pony.

Yeah, those were some huge fields he faced at Belmont all year. Four horses in The Woodward, four horses in The JCGC. I have no idea how he managed to find his way through all of that traffic.

Jokes aside, I think you're right that it's a negative going into the BCC that Bernardini won't have been battle-tested (unless Dylan Thomas freaks on the dirt). I know he's a monster, but I've yet to see how he responds when someone looks him in the eye.

i dreamed a black horse won the derby one year...i was rooting for the chestnut, and then sunday silence walked by in the post parade and my stomach sank....
and then a few years ago it was a chestnut. swore it was peace rules...but no, it was that other chestnut.
