When a horse they like gets beat, he definitely didn't run his A race and they gave him a figure too low to boot.
In other words when they are right they are right, and when they are wrong they are right also.
Come on Zieg, get with the program!!!!!!
I mean, the fact that his internal fractions were the same as his other races, and that those fractions didn't get him an easy perfect trip with a loose lead or clear stalking position is absolutely irrelevent!!!!!
I'm very disapppointed in you Zieg, trying to use common sense and logic will get you absolutely nowhere in arguing affairs of the heart. Now go sniff some paint thinner, knock a few dozen points off your iq, and get back to us.

lol

oracle, you truly did make me laugh out loud.

things is, bernardini ran his same race. but the competition wasn't the same. that's why he didn't draw away, didn't make an easy lead, and didn't romp home. he didn't look worse, he looked the same. but the gap was narrowed because his competition was more talented. he ran the same time-wise as his jcgc, and ran the same figures he's been running all year.

i have NEVER knocked bernardini. not once ever. just want to remind everyone of that fact before anyone tries to suggest i've always been down on him. i thought he was a really good colt. but not the best i've seen in years, the jury is out on whether he was the best of the bunch THIS year. he should and will win the eclipse, imo that's a given.. buthe is not a great. if he was, than what about invasor, who beat him?
also, figure-wise, discreet cat was faster this year than his stable-mate. after all, he was the go-to guy if for some reason bernardini couldn't run. that speaks volumes about how truly good they think he is.
