Lost in the Fog vs Bernardini

The implication is if you dont go two turns, you are not a true thorougbred. The BC has put less emphasis on the sprint, look at the purses. Sprinters, like it or not, are not held in high esteem. I love the sprints. But I dont like the way young horses are pressed to run to fast.

Here are the 3yo statistics for the two horses going into the BC races. Note that Bernardini’s maiden loss was thrown out as not representative of his ability. How some declared Fog a fraud last year going into the BC and some of the same folks call Bernardini a star this year going into the BC is beyond me. The numbers indicate that Fog was as good a sprinter as Bernardini a router.

George Bush routinely ran 6 minute miles when he first took office. That equates to:

6.5fl- 4:50.0
9fl- 6:45:0
Raw Beyer- -2862
Lengths beaten by these horses- 1092 at 9fl (Bernardini), 789 at 6.5fl (Fog)

And I predict that Bernardini will as well. If not, then congrats to him... I hope he's just as influential as a stallion.
