and yeah, betsy, i just put that up to get feedback from others about it--certainly is atypical for tommy to mention it. i hope he didn't think pletcher was trying anything, i don't think he was...i guess i'm just wondering if tommy thought pletcher was! kind of like that euro race a few weeks back....

I think Castellano made his decision to move based on what Lava Man did. If you watch all of Lava Man's race the results are determined at the same spot of the track every single time. Lava Man made his typical move, and Castellano did the right thing by sending his horse. If Castellano waited to long, and it turned out that Lava Man could run on the track, we would have seen the same result we saw all summer in California.

maybe sibling rivarly will accomplish what we want to see...and the sheiks will both bring their horses back for a rematch.

I agree 100%. I don't think the move was too early. It seems that way now because he lost but I just think he lost to a horse that ran better than him. The move was fine. It beat 11 other horses and the one that it didn't beat, it may not have made a difference when he made the move. Also, the rider on Invasor was also making a move at the same time. It just wasn't as explosive as Bernardini's or as eye-catching because Bernardini's move put him to the lead while Invasor's only put him in contention.

I don't think Bernie will come back. He's too valuable and they won't risk it.

Equidaily had already posted the add on their website announcing Bernardidi's going to stud at a to be determined site. Why the conjecture ?
