Well, I have to admit it - the Lava Dude doesn't ship well. Those South American horses are all tough as nails; many of their G1s down there have purses that are under $100K in our money, so one can buy a champion for less than one pays for a high-end yearling.

Bernardini is 1 for 2 against older males on dirt. Secretariat was 1 for 3 against older males on dirt.

And Secretariat was overrated as well. But an alltime great nonetheless while Bernie is a terrific horse. Nothing more. Not even sniffing Mineshaft by the way.

As Kenny Mayne says Invasor...He's the best! Great race and I commend Bernie but he was not the same horse when he was challegned instead of just walking over opponets. Invasor was all heart and a hell of a lot of talent.
