Brisbet take on Bernie

" The Classic may be his defining moment."


For better or for worse?

This is really getting a bit tiresome. If one hadn't actually seen Bernardini, or understood speed figures, or known the relative abilities of those he's faced, one would get the feeling he was f'n Pegasus and he had extra strong wings. This kind of silly crap bears no relation whatsoever to this horse. He's a very good horse, one who may even be exceptionally good, but as of now he is no better than 50 horses that have run in the last 20 years. OK, that's pretty damn good, but hardly the kind of accolades that are being thrown around.


And by the way, who wrote that on Brisbet, and why should we care what he or she thinks? This person is more qualified than whom?

I agree as I've stated already. Its just too premature to me the way people are talking. And that's not taking a shot at the horse---that's what people need to realize. Even Albertrani realizes that more needs to be done. That's just common sense.

It's just more irresponsible journalism in racing leading people in the wrong direction. No wonder so many people are confused about what a really good horse is or was ( see Lost in the Fog among others ).

Guess that's why we have mutual pools. I know he will be overbet and like I did at Belmont will probably pass the race. I am a big Bernardni FAN and like I said I hope we see all of what he's got.
