So sick of hearing about Bernardini. All due respect to Bernie but he was never challenged before today and when the chips were down, he had nothing to give back. Bernie is still extraordinary in terms of talent, but romps over mid road 3 year olds did not justify the hype this horse got and the bloated price he made Invasor. Sweet victory!

must admit i was shouting for invasor to get up late.
my daughter said 'isn't that bernardini' when he started coming on the turn. i said yeah, but it's a loooong stretch.

when i get my horses, i want jara on them. oh yeah.

all these months, all the discussions...i kept saying invasor... then the layoff, i kept saying do NOT ignore him, i learned my lesson about layoffs from barbaro going into the derby...critics of jara--i said no, he's got what it takes. when i defended lava man, and was asked if he was my choice...no, i said invasor, but i liked lava too...but invasor, kept coming back to him.
nice race. NICE.
will invasor be back next year??? any word yet?

Man Dini didnt look good at all. I know I'll get shot down and insulted but I really dont think this was at all his best. This wasnt the same horse that we saw in the JCGC and Travers and I hope the Sheikh brings him back in 07 for vindication

Please keep Brother Derek and Lava Man
on the west coast. Their they have chance to
be competive. Although BD ran a pretty good race

Brother Derek showed he's a classy horse, he finished in front of a lot of horses, maybe they should stay home too.

lol

funny tho...isn't it, that silver train got no grief at all, all year, about being a belmont only horse? but i agree, lava should stay in cali, and i guess other horses should stay in new york....

Same horse, different level of competition. It has a way of making the horse look worse.

Maybe thats true Jim, but I dont think the level of competition was the reason the Castellano was hard riding when the hit the far turn. Honestly I'm shocked that he held for 2nd and I think that this is a race that he'd learn from but I doubt he gets the chance...

What is the reason then that he was being hard ridden?
Remember, this is the greatest horse in the past 25-50 years according to most.

I agree with that. Today Bernardini faced better horses than the ones he had been beating since the Preakness.

There are no singles on BC day...Even with OB..take your chances.

Oh yeah, Big Red is safe..
