And all of the people who bet on Lava Man are a bunch of nobodies. I worked for Churchill and I know! Hmmph

It will be difficult to get my weenie in a twist because I am a girl! (the bitches comment was more accurate for me)

So am I... but I can assure you that Pillow Pants and Cunningham are not.

It's usually the women that cheer for Bernardini.

Myself not included... I'm one of the few on here (yourself included ) that would like to see more before I annoint him the next great one. The horse is definitely talented, but I'm now bowing down just yet.

That's right!! If he wins the BCC i'll concede he's the best. However, I have my doubts about the Bernardini crowd if he loses. I'm sure it'll be excuse city if he doesn't win.

Actually the bigger insult goes to War Admiral than to Seabiscuit in the Bernardini-Lava Man comparison.

Take a close look at Seabiscuit's race record...a lower winning percentage for his career than Lava Man at this time and probably if you look at the stakes races, fewer Grade 1 equivalent wins than Lava Man over a longer career. The Grade 1's that I see for Seabiscuit are the HGC, SA 'Cap, Pimlico Special and maybe the San Juan Capistrano when it was run on dirt.

What separates Seabiscuit from Lava Man and potentially any other handicap horse in this era are the times of his races and the weights that he carried. Those factors made him wildly special (plus beating a Triple Crown winner mano-a-mano) and an absolute legend for all-time.

To compare Bernardini to War Admiral at this stage of Bernardini's career is just plain nuts in my opinion. War Admiral won the equivalent of at least 6 of today's Grade 1's and probably 7 as the Widener was Hialeah's signature race during its golden era as well as being a Triple Crown winner.

It's tough for me to pick Lava Man, because he runs on the front end. I['m cheering for him to break up my best if it's any horse. But carrying over the pace (unchallenged or not) at that 1 1/4 Mile distance is so damn tough... He'd have to be Ghostzapper hehe...

Good God...I said on a "smaller scale"...some of you look to bitch about something, I swear...the stories are VERY similar to me if you institute modern day racing with the way racing was back then in the depression era....
