Stroking Bernardini

[Gander]

Isnt this the same kind of field we should be expecting in the Travers, save for Strong Contender and Bluegrass Cat, who arent exactly world beaters?

You think the finish will be that much more exciting in the Travers?

[Danzig]

based on BGC's finish in the derby, you'd have to expect he'd be a better test of bernardini than what he met saturday. strong contender on the other hand...maybe not so much.

Danzig- Maybe so but deep down I dont think Bluegrass Cat will threaten Bernardini in the least way. He'll cruise again, unless Strong Contender is as good as some people proclaimed him to be about 3 months ago.

Good old Bluegrass Cat....I"d like to say he blows, but it's hard to dismiss a horse that placed in two TC races.

that and you can't dismiss his trainer at the spa!

ya never know. bernardini hasn't been raced much, what will he do on a three week turnaround? that's a question that hasn't yet been answered, the 10f distance is new to him as well. altho i doubt that will be a problem either.

but he'll be a HEAVY fave, and deservedly so. but will it be another 'public workout'? possibly!

Tim I already conceded him the Travers, I don't think those two are much either.
