You can't fault the horse for having a dumber animal piloting him.

haha nice. I like Premium Tap as well. I think he can be the big spoiler on the Bernadini crowd's 6 month long party.

these are just front runner type folks. they'll root for anything that is favored to win and they jump ship asap if there is a chink in the armor.

LOL, but you must admit there is a bandwagon effect. will they bet a ton on Bernie to show in the BC ? ahhh, for him to finish 4th would be sweet indeed.

LMAO,
Ball 4 cant take that synthetic crap with him to Louisville.

anyway,
I dont give GW and shot in a race like the BCC.
David Junior yes.
GW no.

Bernardini is going to have to forget to show up for anyone else to win though.

an interesting thought crossed my mind at Saratoga.
id like to see Pine Island in the BCC.
im not sure she is going to win the BCD against a good group of older females, so why not give her the extra distance she wants and run her against males in the biggest dirt race in the world?
its not going to happen, but Id be cool if it did.

That being said. I think you're a little to HIGH on this one @ the moment.

alright,
where am I going wrong.

I dont see anyone beating him.
not b/c of him, but I dont know what else to like.
DCat is not going to face him b/c of the owners.
DJunior has never run on dirt.
nothing on the east coast is going to beat him, thats been proven.
Lava Man has been beating some really bad horses.
I was hoping another 3Yo would jump up, but Bright One never ran a step in Indiana the other night.
Strong Contender is just not fast enough I dont think. Hell, he could not even beat Bluegrass Cat.
Invasor? Im doubting it.

dude, tell me what Im missing. I dont want to like an even money favorite.
id like to think I can come up with something better, but I dont see where I can.

Wow, Repent... you may be on to something with Pine Island. For some reason, and im saying this knowing im going to get ridicule... it makes sense to me! She'd probably be the only one coming at Bernadini down the stretch.
