I dont recall him having a difficult trip at all this summer at Saratoga. Please explain how you consider that an awful trip. His maiden win last summer wasnt the best of trips but certainly not memorabl in terms of all that difficult to overcome. Did anybody come out of that race to amount to anything?

Silver Train is a Belmont specialist. Take him away from there and hes mediocre. Badge of Silver was making 2nd off a huge layoff, off a very nice effort in the BC on grass. Both horses ran creditable.

Look, I am not saying Discreet Cat isnt very, very good. He is. But lets be fair about bashing Bernardini, a horse who has done very little wrong this year. At least he took on the best of the best and put in a very good showing. Its not like he got killed.

I agree, Gander. I was more impressed with Bernardini in the BCC than the rest of his races... I'm just disappointed that we won't get to see him run next year.
