Yes, that's true - I wonder if he actually needs to beat his elders to win the Eclipse, anyway (if he wins the Jim Dandy/Travers), as long as he runs well. I think he belongs but I agree that Flower Alley is really good -not unbeatable, but certainly a tough, talented colt. I'm not going to make predictions and to clarify my other posts, I'm not predicting Bernardini will run the table or anything like that. He just floored me in the Withers and shocked me in the Preakness -I'm really looking forward to the summer/fall, and especially fall racing at Belmont. It doesn't get better than that.
