Oh, I hope you are wrong - I think the odds are much higher than that. I think the Sheikh is so proud of this horse in particular (as he is a homebred Classic winner) and he's getting such a kick out of Bernardini's races that he will definitely run next year. He knows this colt might become truly great and wouldn't he want to own that kind of horse? I will say this - if Bernardini is retired, I will be extremely disillusioned. I have to admit that I would be bitter and I'm not sure how I could enjoy racing in 2007.
