Who wants to see Bernardini LOSE?
 

Okay, I admit it, I want to see him lose. Maybe its because so many people are so sure he will win. Maybe because i think they will retire him after he wins. Maybe its because i now view the sheikhs as some sort of "evil empire". Maybe its because i want to go price hunting in the classic.

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?

it gonna be an empty one...but hey the more like you the more i make..

Thats cool. More power to you.

I'm going against him. Probably use him in exotics and pick 3s, etc. But I'll try to beat him from a win standpoint.

at last!!!! the thread i have been waiting for!!!!

i can say that no matter how i do at the windows.....this will be a great breeders' cup if that horse does not win. if he finishes off the board, it will be my favorite breeders cup ever.
then i hope he comes out of it 100% healthy for 2 reasons.
1) i never want to see any horse (even him) injured.
2) i don't want him to have any excuses.

i'll be driving that bus. gonna be nearly dark when they run the race. my people say he don't see so good at night.

albertani is a nice guy ..so im rooting for him..

Albertrani is a nice guy. Bernardini is a beautiful horse. All that being said...

I want to see him go down!

i will go on record as saying i don't think he's the sure thing many say he will be this saturday. it's a contentious field, as it should be. no lightly raced horses here, seasoned veterans all--well, almost all. bernardini is one of the most lightly raced horses running this wknd. hell, some of the juvies have more races under their belts than he does. shame he won't make double digits before heading to stud. one season. makes GZ look like a true veteran in hindsight.

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.

lol, im sorry i find it funny, not a jab at ya. just funny !!!
okay, I can see your reasoning except for why do you think of sheikhs as "evil empire" would you say the same about coolmore operation? I dont like the fact that Sheikhs have access to best of the best and I dont,
same goes for Coolmore.

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..

exactly! I hate the cowboys.

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

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!

Nope, but I want to see Lava Man lose.

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