Nobody is beating that horse anywhere. Not even the older horses.

Maybe so, but he has to see older horse before the year is out.

bernardini is still on the outside looking in for top three year old at this point. even a travers win might not get him that vote, certainly not hoy. he'd have to win the bcc to get them both. lava man and flower alley might have something to say about that.

More proclamations.

He looked good.

It is one thing to beat a reasy for a rest Sunriver and an inexperienced Ministers Bid.

It is quite another thing to beat seasoned older horses,

We'll see.

How was his time? I am not saying he won't get HOY, but let's not hand it out until after the BCC.

You don't need to know the time. It was that impressive.

after seeing the question, and this answer, i checked out todays charts. one other race, the third, was run at the same distance(he'sanoldsalt won, corinthian was third). and they ran about the same time, 1:50:26. bernardini was 1:50:50. now i do think that our future HOY should have been able to beat saltys time. but i could be wrong.

If you can't see that this one is special then you are missing something. If anything he in underrated.

I haven't watched the race yet. Preakness was very nice. Just not a believer in handing out HOY awards until after the BCC, and I am certainly not going to put Bernardini at the top of my list until I see the race from today. My nephew and mom are playing video games on the only tv in my mom's house.

Trust me, this might be the best horse in decades. When a jockey says "After the race, he was so calm and he wasn't blowing" and when you see how easily he destroyed these horses, it isn't one of those deceiving efforts. They got what you expect and more from a AP Indy out of a mare that placed 10x in grade 1's and grade 2's.
