Ok I Have Had Enough

If you are for or against what I am saying please be aware of this following disclaimer - this is just me releasing some pent up frustration.

Enough already with the Bernardini this Bernardini that. Invasor won, looks like they will retire Dini, on to something else. Good grief.

Anyone else just, be honest, tired of all this talk about a horse that got beat in the BCC? Lets move on man, ya feel what I am saying?

Some very nice races. Very good performances by the winners.I lost money but enjoyed the races. I was saddened by the accident. Lets turn the page . We can look forward for the early season at GP FG and a little later Oaklawn. With the strong performances of the 3yr olds it looks like the handicap division could be a very competetive division at all the distances.

There was a photo of the finish of the Classic in the Lexington paper this morning with the announcement of Bernardini's retirement - don't you love a paper that sees a stallion retirement as a news event? Anyway, in the photo Bernardini has his ears back, clearly trying hard, while Invasor has his ears pricked and looks almost in hand. Invasor is simply the better horse at this point. Bernardini did not lose the race so much as Invasor actively won it.

My respect for you just went to the moon. Apologies for any previous squirmishes.

Exactly. This is something that not many people mention. Invasor was full of run at the end of that race. I just hope he races another year. If he does I think its possible that by the end of the year he'll be the one being heralded and compared to the greats. We'll see. He brings a ton of speed and guts to the racetrack and the race does not need to set-up for him.

I saw this too, Ann and I immediately thought about that topic we all had on here regarding what it meant when a horse had his/her ears pricked at the finish line. I remember many posters telling me that I was a complete moron for LIKING when a horse had their ears pricked down the stretch.

better enjoy all the post-race analysis while you can...bound to get dead around here soon enough with a dearth of racing in the forecast.

the usual late fall/winter semi-hiatus is the reason for my 'signature'.

I'm still fascinated that you guys can't make do with a bunch of 5kN2L races until Gulfstrean starts up. Mountaineer, Hoosier, Chuck-town... those are where I thrive.

Al I'm gonna say about 'Dini. It had nothin to do with heart or lack there-of. He looked pretty f'n impressive for 9/10s of that race before Invasor came barreling home. He was just better, Heart had nothin to do with it. I could run with all my heart vs Car Lewis in the 100 yard dash, but I won't ever beat him. Sometimes the other competitor is just better. Bring on Discreet Cat.

Thank you. Anyone who is saying anything about Bernardini losing due to a lack of heart should be shot.

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.

Zieg I'm just catching up on the board now but this is a stone cold riot!!! LOL!!!
I'm reading all these posts by delusional people who are explaining like he didn't really lose or that hes still just as good as advertised, and then they are getting mad at folks telling it like it is?
Lemme see if I got this figured out Zieg, apparently Bern is still just as good as Spectacular Bid or Ghostzapper, so I guess that makes Invasor a real life version of the fabled Pegasus, the horse with wings who could fly.
This is absolutely the funniest thing I ever saw in my life, truly.
Fact is he wasn't even Barbaro, and had Barbaro not been injured he would have bitch slapped him as well.
Invasor will now forever me my favorite horse of all time, replacing Personal Ensign, for had it not been for Invasor we'd have listen to delusinal rantings about this "best horse who ever looked through a bridle" for years.
