Well hes either got no heart or hes nowhere near as good as Invasor is or as good as everyone said he was, its gotta be one or the other.
Know who oughta be shot? Anyone who ever dared compare him to Ghostzapper.
Ghostzapper would have urinated on him and left him a mile behind. I saw Ghostzapper, and Bernadini is no Ghostzapper.

he was good, pretty good. but not a freak or a superhorse. he was not as bad as some are now saying, certainly not as good as others claimed he was...as for GZ, apparently those were the good old days, when a horse ran more than one year.

Unbelievable.

When Ghostzapper was around, all anybody could do was bitch and whine about how he only ran four or five races a year. Now those are the good old days.

well, i was one of those. hard to believe NOW, after looking back, that THEN was the good old days, huh? and we all just have to suck it up and be happy about it, not like we can do a damn thing about a horse running one year and gone. or three races a year. i think it stinks, and if you don't understand that i was being sarcastic, i don't know what to say.

I also saw Bluegrass Cat and all the other rats you said would beat Bernardini, and they're no Bernardini.

So let me get this straight, because he lost by A LENGTH to Invasor, he's "nowhere near as good as Invasor"? Hmm..

The way I saw the race was the Bernardini got BEAT a lenght and that was with Invasor giving him 4 pounds.

Sounds like Bernardini is the only horse that ever lost a race....

They all lose(except Personal Ensign). Thats kinda the point.
Ghostzapper never got spoken about with the sheer obnoxious attitude that Berns' fans had. Even to the end, some had doubts about the mile and a quarter.
Ironically, Ateam was the guy on our old board who was his biggest outright supporter. I myself had a little doubt about GZ and the 10 furlongs. But after I saw that race, I was just convinced he was the best horse i ever saw.

The way Bern was spoken about by his fans, and the way that those with doubts about him were spoken to is the issue. In reality 31 lengths? Honestly? I wish he was running next year. He may have been a Bid, and Affirmed, or a Zapper. But we won't ever know.
This was never really about bern the horse, it was just like the USC fans last year, just so over the top that you had to hate them even if you really didn't.

Personally, I disliked the horse himself
he's a real ass, and owned by the sand monkeys

this is not right. i am a long-time opponent of bernardini fans and the horse's ownership. but terms like that are just plain racist and have no place on this board. if you want to be a racist....fine there are plenty of racist websites around. go join one.
this is a horse racing board.....where everyone who loves horse racing should feel welcome. ignorant and pejorative terms like "sand monkey" do not belong here.

You are right. Bernardini raced more than 2.6x in a year and was a 3yr old. Ghostzapper is the most overrated horse in the last decade. The horse had a grand total of 1 win at 10f or longer in an entire career. 3 at 9f or longer. Wow. That is great. A career with 3 wins at 9f or longer.

In 4 seasons Ghostzapper raced 11 times. What a champion. LOL.
