Wow,I can see that both of these horses are at the very top of their game.There are a whole lot of folks that don't like where Lava Man comes from,and are simply showing their bias.Bernardini is a terrific horse,but he is not gunna just stroll by this animal.How Bernadini reacts to that is anybody's guess.Lava Man appears to be a very willing,and smart competitor with a burst he can call on at any time.Bernadini is the more graceful smooth and easy one.I think Lava Man will make his move,and Castellano will unleash Bernadini,and I really don't know if Lava Man gets passed.I don't know how people can seem so sure one way or the other about that.If Bernadini can handle a nose to nose fight,then he probably will get by.We just don't know what's going to happen when Bernadini gets hooked on the turn(and he will indeed get hooked up with this horse.)

This is what I see also. Hope Im wrong and he gives Bernardini all he can handle so we will be able to see both horses at their best.
