He is also one of the best galloping horses that I have seen. His stride is so rhymical, powerful, and fluid.
And you basically read my mind on those other questions that you asked. However, I think that he will be challenged sometime or another in a race. Some people will always criticize Bernardini for one reason or another no matter what he does...Personally, I think that he is fantastic.

I also think he'll show his class and heart in battle (no big surprise there) - he seems to be an extremely competitive horse. He'll be in a real dogfight in the Classic - big field, tough and talented older horses- if he wins, whether it's easily or by a nose, he'll have earned it. I really am sorry that Invasor won't be in the Gold Cup ; I'd like to see Sun King in the race or even Wandering Boy. In any case, Saturday is going to be fun; I'll finally get to see him up close and in person
