But if he lets him drop back we all go crazy and say "How could he let him drop back to 10th??????"

I think that Bernardini ran his race. I thought he was moving great coming down the stretch. His stride looked as good as ever. I think the reason that he wasn't pulling as much was because they were going :46 3/5 yesterday. In his last couple of races they were going :48. If you try to get him to go :48, he's going to pull a little bit.
Javy may have moved a little early yesterday but it wasn't horrendous or anything. It was a little premature.
