Regardless, i am going on record as hoping he will lose and also that i will be betting against him.

Anyone else on this bus?

Just so you can be different?? or from betting angle, not enough return??
and why do you think of sheikhs as "evil empire" would you say the same about coolmore operation?

I think his price will be short relative to accomplishment. This will be his first really good field on a surface that has been famous for being detested by certain horses. Thats from a betting standpoint.

As for the "evil empire" thing, it wasnt anything against the shiekhs or anything like that. It just seems that they have a monopoly on some really good horses. I root against Pletcher the same way.

And im not trying to be different. Im just not on the bandwagon. Bernardini is obviously a talented horse but i think and hope he loses. Simple as that.

same thing as rooting against the yankees or the cowboys i'd imagine.

I am all about Lava Man, not against Dini. Tom A seems like a great guy, gotta love Dini's heart, etc..

If George doesnt win, I hope Bernardini wins it.. Though I just backed Invasor at 10-1 so i wouldnt be disappointed if he won it..

me too....

i'd like to see lava man win it. be nice to see horses who run more than a few times in their career get rewarded for their longevity....good thing that some owners believe 'what's best for the horse (oh please)' is different than others!

There are so many good reasons to hate the Cowboys, but not Bernardini.

Damn straight I hope he loses if it means he will run again. Maybe he gets an absolutely horrid trip, stumbled start, caught in traffic, bumped, etc... and comes out in perfect shape, seething to go again. They cant contain him because all involved with the horse know he wants to run again. He refuses to breed unless they let him run for another year or two. Good stuff.

Cant root against Dini, but I'd like 2/1 a whole lot, so if a lotta people wanna play against, thats fine. The only reason I would not want to see him win is that IF he wins and IF he retires all of the internet message board bull**** of his place in history will be a HUGE pain in the ass.

I'm also with Sightseek that I really dont like Lava Man either...

I love this thread and hope the anti-Bernie bus is loaded with money against him. TA said this is the best horse he's ever been around and that includes CIGAR. He does everything so easy. I wish him a HUGE and SAFE run and then maybe he can get the credit he deserves. And Invasor is owned by Bernie's owner's bro. so I don't get the evil empire stuff.

fair enough, i dont like pletcher either, dont know why? i havent put my finger on it though.

Sightseek · #12 10-31-2006, 07:31 PM

Nope, but I want to see Lava Man lose.

Revolution · #13 10-31-2006, 07:33 PM

I hope somebody else wins, but I doubt it happens.

mclem10011 · #14 10-31-2006, 08:05 PM

paisjpq · #16 10-31-2006, 07:48 PM

I don't really want to see bern lose...I want to see the best horses win, and I think he probably is the best horse....
But i would like to see Invasor win, i like this horse a lot and he feels a little bit like the red-headed stepchild in the darley stable

#17 10-31-2006, 07:57 PM

I love Bernardini and what to see him win. My problem is that I cannot separate him from the owners who are going to rush him off to stud. Thus, I am now rooting for the other Slews, Lava Man and longshot Suave. It would be delightful if a son of A.P. Indy wins, but it is SUAVE!

First off, this a thread based on one's emotion, which is individual. Secondly, I've always been one to like a horse who is either not liked or not respected by the masses on forum boards. Lava Man, as you can see from all of the responses on my reply, has been thrown in our faces like we HAVE to like him - I don't.

Initially I thought I didn't like the horse because of knowing someone who had a very bad dealing with Mr. O'Neil and his brother, but Great Hunter is growing on me, so I guess really don't hold a horses connections against him like others if I like the horse enough. In the end, I just don't like Lava Man. Of course I don't wish ill upon him.

why would you be rooting against lava man? i mean we all know that bernardini is pure evil.....but what did a quality old gelding like lava man ever do to make you hate him.
i don't think he has a chance of hell in winning, but i like him.
