Nobody thinks Bernardini is better than Invasor or Discreet Cat. They hyped up Bernardini in order to create a star. He never deserved the hype. I admit, I fell for it too, but he really doesn't have that great of a racing record. He beat a bunch of small fields and got a bunch of tired horses in the Preakness. His one test, he failed.

He was beaten by a horse off a huge layoff, and that horse was trounced by Discreet Cat.

Look, I was one of the people who didn't think Bernie had a chance in the BCC. He ran one hell of a race IMO and he didn't appear to be handling the track in the same manner as his other races. I agree that the fields he beat all year were suspect, etc, but he proved more to me by losing in the BCC than he did in any of his other races. It's comical to me that the past month you had been hyping Bernardini and now he's some rat... incredible.

Nobody thinks that? More like YOU don't think that..........unless you interview everyone in the racing industry, then interview the Shiekh personally to find out how he feels about Bernardini, then your statement is nothing more than opinion. All I've read from people like John Ferguson, the Sheikh's son are pure raves about Bernardini - not once did I read anything declaring that Bernardini was anything other than a tremendous racehorse and they certainly never declared that Invasor or DC was better. Talk about wishful thinking
