And they aren't gonna let him cruise to an easy lead. Apparently running away from hemingway's key gets you into the Hall of Fame. I think not.

I agree that he beat nobody on Saturday, but the way he did it was extremely impressive. He won under an absolute strangle-hold. He won by about 9 lengths and he could have won by well over 15 lengths. He looks like a really special horse. He's obviously the best 3 year old by far right now. I agree with Oracle that he should have no problem winning the Travers easily. With regard to the older horses, I'm not sure that there is anyone who can beat him. If Flower Alley is as good as he was last year, he may be able to give Bernardidni a battle. If Lava Man can take his form out of California, he may have a shot. Aside from those two, I don't any of the others are as good as Bernardini.
