Old Balto was a multiple graded stake winner, can't say that much of Bernardini's competition...

Can't really argue with what Robbie did at the start, he had an outside post and had to gun, but he kept him wide on a quick pace, PD is no slouch and got a perfect ride, but Mineshaft took the worst of it...

Not going to get back into it, but the Balto race was basically his first race back in his 4 yr old season and the fractions were dirt slow. No way he could make up the ground. He got better as his 4yr old season went along....I believe he got hurt before the Br. Cup. Who knows?

I guess they didn't want to run an injured horse on that hard track in the BCC...

Playa always bashes Mineshaft, he probably has a dartboard in his house with a picture of Mineshaft on it, I picture him doing pullups with Mineshaft tattoes on his knuckles like Deniro in Cape Fear...

At least he hasn't gone crazy and told us that the Bears are going to be like the '72 Bears and go undefeated, Scavs has that market cornered...

He is consistent, I give him that. He likes to poke me, I realize that. No problem. I get a kick out of it.

Did you try DRF?

By DAVID GRENING
ELMONT, N.Y. - Bernardini, the leading 3-year-old in the country, worked five furlongs in 1:03.33 Tuesday morning at Belmont Park, his final move in preparation for Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup. Exercise rider Simon Harris kept Bernardini even farther off the rail than usual, in part because of his dissatisfaction with Belmont's main track and in part because several horses had worked before him and the inside part of the track was chewed up.
Though Belmont's main track was listed as fast, Harris said the track had plenty of moisture in it because two water trucks went around during the renovation break. Harris said the track was still drying out from weekend rains.

``Today it was wet, but you were going right through it and I didn't like it at all so I probably erred on the side of caution than what I normally would,'' Harris said.

Bernardini got his final quarter in 24.71 seconds after going the opening three furlongs in 38.62 seconds.

``He's coming into this race as good as ever, today's work was just routine,'' trainer Tom Albertrani said. The Jockey Club Gold field remained in flux on Tuesday. The only other confirmed runners as of Tuesday morning were Dylan Thomas and Andromeda's Hero.

Trainer Patrick Biancone said Spanish Chestnut is not running. Trainer Nick Zito has not made a final decision on who he is running besides Andromeda's Hero.

He won his return race at Golden Gate this March and was 3rd in the True North (G2) on the Belmont undercard to Anew and Tiger. Also ran 3rd last out in the Lure Stakes at Belmont in a race off teh turf and was 3rd in a Toga allowance won by Awesome Twist. So, his post Derby record is

6-1-0-4-$97,550 - ITM 5 of 6 tries
