pace makes the race. bernardini had things his way from start to finish. still hasn't been eyeballed. wonder if he ever will be....

Amen.

The way he ran was proof that horses can run very well off of 20 day layoffs. He smoked the rest of the field, and if Bernardini wasn't in the 3 year old class, he would have easily asserted himself to the top of the class. The short layoff is NOT an excuse for the injury.
