He has 2 -4 Thoros and Bernie never did that....The horse with the perfect trip was Badge and he couldn't do it. Discreet made his own trip sitting just off the pace and in the two or three path the entire way...And yes I'm not big on the hand ride thing but he wasn't perservered with at all. And just because Bernie couldn't find more under the whip doesn't mean this one couldn't. The fact is a 0 in his first race(as a 2 year old) could have fried this horse for life. Instead he is getting faster and better. Get ready for a -5 for this race and he's still only 3....But yeah, I guess his race was just ok. Puhhhhhhhlease. And Mike, there are lot of people on here who can watch races with a keen eye. Talking down to the board is beneath you.

don't think it's so much 'hating' as trying to keep things in perspective. we've been lucky to see some top notch, breathtaking performances all year. but they can't all be extra special i guess....
