You think that Bernardini is better suited to the Mile than DC?
While I don't like the Mile for DC I would have to say that turning back a multiple G1 winning dirt router to the Mile on BC day is insane. Since Bernardini is at least a somewhat "proven commodity" in dirt routes, the Classic is a better fit for him than DC.
I don't think that the "perfect" race exists in the Cup for DC, thus I think he'll be withheld unless the scene shifts alot in the next 2 weeks. Do they drop back and sprint with the likes of Henny or try grass for the first time against horses like their own proven miler, Librettist? Maybe they can get him a sex change and run him at 9f in the Distaff.
Clearly they are looking for "perfect" spots for this colt and none such would appear to be availbale in the Cup.
