Now does anyone still believe?...

2)I never said he was the best two year old I ever saw.(CQ) I said he was the best I'd seen at this point in about ten years. So far I haven't seen a better one, although the Lukas horse who won on Saturday after being beaten by Quay looks to be exceptionally talented.
3)Cunningham also pointed out that Lady Of Venice was supposed to be the best three year old grass filly, and that Scat Daddy was supposed to be sensational, I see neither. I give him props on falling in love with Bernadini and agree with him on Henny Hughes.
4)Showing Up will get anilhated if he faces English Channel.

1) Like I said, mistakes are made, I have made a ton.
2) Ok, then in 10 yrs, but already you seemed to have found another.
3) Who cares about Scat Daddy (who pletcher still thinks is his #1) and LOV, he pointed out this one as HOY and BC Classic winner a long time ago. Give the guy credit. People give you credit for having a great eye and buying WLA.
4) I don't know what Showing Up will do. I listen to it 24-7 about how he is unbeatable, but I only have 2 more days of that left. I hope he does win the Eclipse because I like Tagg, but I honestly don't believe Showing Up is as good as the older horses. You guys attacked him and I adopting him as my horse to defend. Do you really think I think Rumspringa is going to win the BC Sprint. I saw him that morning and decided to point him out. EC might beat SU, but nobody in America can destroy him. He is too good.

I sure wouldn't want to speak for Oracle, but I bet he would give him credit if the horse actually wins the BCC and HOTY.

And I will follow suit....

Now if Mayan King gets HOTY, I am going to just start following Nascar or something.

You people are acting like this is an attack on Bernardini, and that he has already won the whole kit-n-kaboodle.

2 races.

I think this stuff is a reaction to the Barbaro incident, with everyone wanting to replace him with "something special."

I didn't hear this last year about Flower Alley, because everyone knew that Afleet Alex could smoke him.

But in my opinion, Bernardini is currently a "Flower Alley 2, electric boogaloo" type of horse.

i think bernardini fans are a bit defensive, seeing every post not singing his praises as an attack..fact remains i haven't seen one post critical of the horse!! not one. however, i have seen posts saying withhold judgement on the horse as to his position in history. yes, everyone is saying he ran a heck of a race. two actually. and everyone seems eager to see more of him. but there still seems to be a problem for some reason.

i know i personally haven't agreed that it was a weak field....many others have pointed out (correctly) that he didn't beat the best of this years crop in this race.
i haven't seen any criticisms of the horse. not many on the field he faced. i think most of it is directed to the hysteria building around bernardini.

yes, we enjoyed his race. he looked really, really good and won it easily.

it's just most of us aren't yet saying he's the reincarnation of citation. nor are we ready to concede a win in open company. anyone who has watched this sport for very long knows how hard it can be for a horse to step up the next level. hell, i hope he does it. it'd be great to see. but i'm certainly not going to offer any guarantee on it happening!
