Before you deem Bernardini great, he has to do more. Before that he beat Luxemburg who just came back recently and got clobbered by a horse not even mentioned when you talk about good 3 year olds- Fabulous Strike.

Tim I dunno how you judge races but Luxembourg wasn't clobbered. he was beaten a couple of lengths off the layoff in a race that went in wicked fast time after being left at the gate. It was a very nice race for him to build on to stretch out. He wasn't going to ring him out in an allowance race off the layoff with a sharp lone speed horse going short.
