i fully expect people to attack me for "ripping" bernardini after that race and his defenders may blast me for this post. i'm fine with that, in part because - as my signature this last week probably reveals - i had a nice day at the windows today. but the bottom line is that we had to listen to your irrational and unjustified comments about this horse for months. now sit back and let us rational people take the stage for awhile. you were flat-wrong. when your boy met a quality animal he folded up like a cheap suit.
he is no invasor. he is no barbaro. secretariat? it isn't even worth discussing.
the best horse won today. there is no question about that....and i'm not just saying it after the fact.....i have been saying it on this board for awhile.

I think Bernardini ran well in defeat, it's not like he was disgraced, he was beat by a VERY nice horse. I don't see how you can say his loss today proves he is inferior to Barbaro. I think rather than come back and spout I told you so's, lets just reflect on a day when we saw some fantastic races and some unspeakable trajedy. These horses put their lifes on the line for our pleasure, rather than denigrate their races, lets celebrate their heart and desire and be happy we got to enjoy their fantastic races this year.
