Default Stroking Bernardini

Is there anyone else on here who hasn't completely lost their mind over this horse?

He has looked really good in his last two races, but they are just that...two races. One of which the favorite broke down.

(his allowance and Withers were races similar to how strong contender and showing up and other "best ever types" ran, so I'm not counting them)

I agree that he is good, but I am seeing posts saying things like "best horse in a long time" just like we see every year when some colt wins a triple crown race.

Where is all of the ****-talking about Jazil or Discreet Cat? Or maybe even Showing Up?

I'll tell you where it is. Sitting in wait until one of those runs again...

The minute some other three year old wins a diluted race by open lengths, we will hear more of the "second coming of Secretariat" BS.

Honestly, am I the only one who wasn't that impressed? He was kind of supposed to beat those types of horses like that.

He reminds me of Scrappy T last year (Withers, Preakness), except Afleet Alex finished the Preakness and Barbaro didn't.
