Bluegrass Cat has an edge?
...Wow, what a statement. Bernardini won a CLASSIC in a run-away in just his 4th start....I seriously doubt the extra sixteenth of a mile will bother this horse at all.
I am actually a Bluegrass Cat fan...I used him well in the Derby and hit nicely with him in the EX spot at 35-1...I loved him in the Belmont but he had a bad trip and that is probably what cost him from winning that race over Jazil IMO....BUT, he is not in the sae ballpark as Bernardini...he just isn't...
...he'll run his 4 on the sheets like usual and Bernardini will run around a scratch performance and dust him....he's just in another league - like Tiger right now on the PGA Tour..not that Vijay or Phil or any of those guys suck, but Tiger is simply in another talent galaxy from those guys, ad that is how I feel about Bernardini....
