If Bluegrass Cat beats Bernardini, it would be a bigger surprise than Flower Alley beating those 2 last year. Not impossible by any means but lets face it, Bernardini has the look of someone really special. I dont think anyone confused Roman Ruler with that kind of horse. And I doubt Flower Alley would have beaten Bellamy Road when he was 100% back in the spring.

I don't know that f'ing Man o' War would have beaten Bellamy Road in his Wood. That was a performance for the ages; even the biggest Bellamy Road bashers would admit to that.
That being said, obviously beating Bernardini would be a crowning achievement for Bluegrass Cat, but I think he can do it. No horse is invincible, and I'm not certain Bernardini has really faced supremely quality competition quite yet. This Travers will surely be a test.
