Falbrav's 2003 turf form was on par Bernardini's 2006 dirt form.

but DJ has been beaten in Europe this year and althought impressive, not dominant the way Bernardini has been here.

I will disagree with you here while maintaining a ton of respect for DJ.
He is the only horse that concerns me at all when singling Bernardini in the pick 6(which I think is likely to be the case for me).

i haven't seen anything on him since they said he was training up to the cup...wonder how he's doing anyway?? i think several others have a better shot than him here, i don't think he's the second coming of giant's causeway.

all reports are that he is doing good.
he likes the "all weather" track over there, but we have heard that before with such BCC duds as Starcraft before.

I like the horse.
I like Bernardini more.

and Zeig,
Im not disrespecting DJ here.
I hope nobody thinks that.
im his biggest fan and thought he was the best 10f horse in England(better than OBoard and Electro).

but I do feel he would need to be even better on dirt than he was on turf to beat Bernardini.

whats cool is that all these Euros are gambling and running on the dirt this year.
I wish Falbrav's connections had done the same in 2003.
if there was ever a BCT horse that should have run in the BCC, that was it.
