dear bernardini fans....

[Danzig]

a learning experience for some i'm sure....those who thought bern would run faster when pressed learned that a horse alone on the lead is pretty much doing his thing--and won't really have much more when he's in company. bernie ran his usual race, the fact is the other horses were head and shoulders above those he faced in his other races.
also, those who busted on lava man and shipping--well, you were right. but of course bernie didn't win shipping to churchill either....
so, next time a horse wins by daylight, please don't assume he'll always do that, or that a horse can somehow run several seconds faster just because he is pressed....

and today is EXACTLY WHY i said don't rush to judgement. now FIN is at the bottom of the screen, and bernie is in the same spot flower alley was in last year. so, those of you who think bern would IMPROVE SO MUCH next year....well, again, let me mention flower alley.

congrats to invasor ( he isthe best. also, congrats to bernie for running a heck of a race, and having a hell of a season. and to premium tap for showing he DID belong. great race, good end to an almost perfect day.
