i wouldn't say he folded either.
but i also wouldn't say that bernardini was better than smarty.

agreed on Smarty over Bernardini. the best comment on Smarty I have ever heard was that "Smarty Jones was a freak that could run fast and far, and both at the same time..."

That being said, give me all of the past B/C Classic winners at Belmont Park for one 1 1/4 race and I'll take Cigar...
