The only American horse that stood a chance against him was our lovely Barbaro. Now, the only horse that may stand against him if he keeps running in his current form is Darley's other horse Discreet Cat. SNS and Brother Derek can't beat Bernardini. I feel that he really have a weak older horse division here this year. Flower Alley is going to have to show me something to give me some hope.
The Darley stable still hasn't unleashed one of my personal favorites, Henny Hughes.

I don't know if Bernardini is even better than their older horse Invasor. Bernardini could be a star but remember he beat a bunch of tired horses in his only big race. One race doesn't make for the best dirt horse in the world. Right now it would be hard to believe such an inexperience horse could beat the Top 4yr olds. I think Ministers Bid will have something a say in the Travers and so will a fresh Sweetnorthernsaint if he goes that route. I also want to see Showing Up with a few more races under his belt and a healthy Corinthian before I go even giving Bernardini best 3yr old dirt horse, let alone top dirt horse in the world.
