Don't Look Amateurish By Falling Into The 4YO vs 3YO Trap

[Thunder Gulch]

I really thought BB was being sarcastic at first, but BB is obviously blinded by the Bernardini love affair to recall the greatness of Slew and Bid. Nevermind Slew was undefeated through the Triple Crown. And Bid, well Bid won 6 G1 races at 3 by an average of 6 lengths, while setting track records. 10 of 12 as a sophomore for Bid, losing twice at Belmont, once with a pin in his foot, and the other a diminishing half length to the older Affirmed when Shoe let them steal it on the front end with a half in 49.

I know Bernardini looks fantastic. There is no question that he could be the real thing. But don't downgrade the greatness of others in trying to build up another.
