i just think Bernardini is in a different talent class than he and most horses that have graced a racetrack, thus Bernardini is my pick to win reltaively comfortably but really can't see Bluegrass Cat losing second to anyone else in this group...I just can't...

Good post
I wish I would have had BGC in the 2nd spot in the tri, not the 3rd, would have been a nice payout...It's interesting that you say how hot blooded Storm Cats are. I was at Gainesway a couple of years ago and a groom was leading a horse up to us, he stops and tells us all to get out the way, because "he's a Storm Cat"...the horse looked like he had fire in his eyes, so he didn't have to tell me twice to get out of the way...
