Worst Ride of the Day

But if he lets him drop back we all go crazy and say "How could he let him drop back to 10th??????"

I think that Bernardini ran his race. I thought he was moving great coming down the stretch. His stride looked as good as ever. I think the reason that he wasn't pulling as much was because they were going :46 3/5 yesterday. In his last couple of races they were going :48. If you try to get him to go :48, he's going to pull a little bit.

Javy may have moved a little early yesterday but it wasn't horrendous or anything. It was a little premature.

Stop with all your facts and making sense. Its easier to just say he wasn't moving right, didn't hold the track, or dropped the bit.

What I saw is a horse that was loping along at the pace he usually does, but like you said there was a more contested and robust pace so he found himself further back than normal.

He never faced the quality field that was in the Classic. I think he did well to finish 2nd although his move was a little early.

I thought Leparoux on Asi Siempre was horrendous. I am shocked to say it, but she was the best filly/mare in that race.

He did have a decent ride in the Ack Ack, race 2...where he lost by a neck on a 20-1 shot, but aside from that one, I agree. I had that one to win too & didn't back it up

Luzzi had one of his typical butcher rides on Pegasus Wind.
