I believe every bit of it except the Showing Up mopping up English Channel. That was trash talk with the EC guys. Showing Up is becoming a monster, although I haven't seen him since he left for Saratoga. I doubt he is good enough to beat the older horses, and he is no Barbaro. Sweetnorthernsaint is still my favorite 3yr old. They are talking about the Arc with him for next year. The Jacksons would like to take a horse to Europe and Showing Up is going to be a turf sire so it makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Go Between beat Showing Up.

As for Bernardini, I wasn't sure what to think until Saturday. Here I go point by point.

“He is in a league all by himself” (He is, nobody can beat him)
“He is the best in a long long time” (He is, you will see)
“He is better than Ghostzapper and Pleasantly Perfect” (No doubt, remember he is just a 3yr old and getting better, I can't imagine how good he will be by BC Classic time- remember he is an AP Indy)
“I think this one might be better than GZ.” (No doubt, GZ didn't race enough to be considered great, this horse races.
”you can't breed a better horse. It is impossible.” (Absolutely 100%, stand by that statement)
“This is a horse that can run in the 120's (beyers) whenever he wants” (He can, considering he ran a 114 in a workout)
“Secretariat's track record at 10F at Churchill is in serious jeopardy this fall.” (Yep)
“Expect a sub 2M and a stakes record in the Travers too.” (Yep)
“Bernardini is a man among boys” (Yep)
“He is just better than everyone out there. A lot better.” (Yep)
“this might be the best horse in decades.” (Yep)
“There isn't a horse since Secretariat that can beat that horse by 4.” (Yep)
“He is the best horse in 40+ years. No doubt in my mind.” (Yep)

I believe every bit of it. I am a little biased because I made a small killing this weekend thanks to Ministers Bid getting up for second, but I can honestly say I have never seen a horse as good as Bernardini. Never.
