1. Bernardini
2. Rachel Alexandra

These 2 lead the overrated pack by a mile (or 8 furlongs if you prefer).

Fairmount has an excellent card this afternoon, maybe we can get Alan to report on any gate malfunctions.

I think Bern was certainly overrated.

I'm not saying he sucked, mind you, but the hype on him was overboard.

Yes, but the immortal Barbaro, and his one good dirt race, wasn't.

She was merely very fortunate she didn't run into that buzzsaw Pioneerof The Nile when he was on top of his game.

I'm pretty sure Pioneerof the Nile won the Triple Crown.

you've got to be kidding. that list contains two of the best horses we've seen in some time. bernardini was a top 3 yo colt, it took invasor to beat him. as for rachel, her 3 yo season was phenomenal.

I don't know...he never really beat anything other than a few bad or crippled up horses. Have any of the horses he beat as a juvenile done anything since, other than win a stakes race at Charles Town last week? I doubt he could've beaten Kantharos if that horse stayed sound.

He would have lapped Kantharos.

I love all the people that didn't understand how massively talented Uncle Mo was last year thinking somehow they were right to underrate him because he got sick.

The Uncle Mo of last year would have crushed this year's 3YO crop.

Look BTW everyone knows and respects your handicapping prowess and the work you do...but what makes you think he'd lap Kantharos?

Because Kantharos was slow and Uncle Mo was fast. It does get much simpler than that.
