SNS only just recently came back. He wasn't himself for the Preakness and got flattened the rest of the way in that race. 5 months later he comes back for the win but wow that took forever to recover. I'm sure they were optimistic because they said they were considering him for various races along the way but he was still worn out for awhile and I don't think Bernardini can take all the credit.

Hopefully somebody will be better able to hook him in the BCC because most of them aren't rubber legged from the TC trail and prep races. It's more entertaining if he has to work for it...he's done so much coasting already. I want a good race and some fantastic horses battling---am I greedy if I want several good horses in the same stretch drive? Happily so I guess.
