I knew that he was schooling in the paddock during the first 3 races that same day so I assumed it was him. He is impressive to look at. Guess it might not have been.

Pics can look very different, too - I'll go see him in person. If you knew he was schooling, that had to be him, I didn't see any others around.

And if that was him, he was very impressive looking - maybe 1 race away?

Orthodox might win as lone speed

West Side Bernie should cruise. Had no chance as speed ran 1-2 around the track in the Holy Bull, and speed ran 1-2-3 around the track in the BC Juvenile yet he was making up ground. Turfway never seems to favor the speed types.

I don't really get the love affair here with West Side Bernie. I could see him run fourth almost as easily as I can see him run winning.

I agree. He could certainly win, but I don't see him as a lock. You can't ignore that the track is like a dust storm with all the kickback and Prado is aboard WSB. He might eat a ton of carpet fiber.

Looked at some video looked as some replays.
PP's.
Cant see bernie losing barring a clean race.

People that want to bet him should be happy
Bittel Road might keep the price a bit better. Maybe not
though (the unloading on Bernie).

No bet.

If you really like Bittel Road you must take him.
Bernie is going to siphon significant money.
