He's the greatest ( Nick that is ). I'm joking....it was worthy of clapping.

As for your last comment...come on Joel, including Discreet Cat is silly. They have made zero attempt to seek out any competition. While Bernardini has danced all the real dances and it's hardly their fault there is no competition, Discreet Cat has sat idly by and made zero attempt to face any worthy opponents.

Behave yourself or I will start referring to you as a Sheik wannabee.

Can't believe Nick actually ran two against him....guy's got some coconuts...that was a sporty thing to do, although he did get seocnd and third money....not bad to run for minor prizes some time when you can place in a race like this....

It was sporty, I agree, and says a lot more about him than the rest of the gutless barn area. And, frankly, he did right by his owners. Hell, he took home $225K. Andromeda's Hero has now made over $850K. Unbelievable....Nick should get an eclipse award for that alone.

this may sound crazy but...

of those two jaw dropping performances, I found myself to be more impressed with henny hughes's. Perhaps its because i already knew bernardini would do what he did and i still had my doubts about henny.

Henny just pissed all over a couple of really good sprinters and did it in a hand ride. It was all too easy. I definitely became a believer today.

I'm also now on board with HH and props to those who spotted what he showed yesterday far earlier than I did.

I'm still looking forward to Bernardini getting hooked by a quality horse and that's likely to happen in a month , but he can only beat what they put in front of him and he's doing it in high style.

Big year for the Godolphin folks.

I played 5 different tickets for $524 and had no more than three on any of them. I think Bernardini was the only horse that won that I actually thought would.

Any word on Goodwood Beyers?

Dunbar · #8 10-09-2006, 05:58 PM

Pointg, Lava Man got a 109. (it's on the Leaderboard at DRF.) Brother Derek must have gotten about a 105.

The 109 is Lava Man's 3rd straight. Much as I love the horse, I don't see him matching up vs Bernardini.

Bernardini is much better than Point Given. He has defeated older horses and has agreed to stay around and not fake an injury to retire. If you believe he "got hurt" after the Travers I have a new baseball team in Idaho to sell you. Cmmon now. Point Given should never be mentioned with Bernardini.

TitanSooner · #10 10-09-2006, 06:19 PM

and I'm sure those beyers are perfect with no bias.

Thanks Dunbar, I thought it may have been a little higher, but it's probably about right...
