Its not really Corinthian's fault nor Jerkens fault that he suffered a fracture.
Flower Alley had quite an active campaign at age three, much moreso than most of the top three year olds in this business ever have. I believe he raced 10 times at age three. Tim do you wanna compare that number of starts with recent top three year olds? I think you will find it very high.

I've loved Corinthian from the start, so I'll keep defending him. If he stays healthy, I think he'll be tough to beat, even for Bernardini.

LOL! Tim. You know as well as I do that he's being brought back in a cautious manner by Jim J. The injury might have ended his career.
At this point, I'd have to vote for Bernardini. But I'll just have to wait and see. Corinthian might be just ready enough to give us all a thrilling Travers if Bernardini shows up there. I'm patient.
This could be worth the wait.

A horse coming back from injury with one prep race has zero chance against Bernardini. Bernardini is an AP Indy. He probably is going to just keep getting better. The older horses are the only horses with a shot at him, and I don't even see them beating him. His Preakness was as good as Barbaro's Derby.

I was kidding, my point was its hard to get excited about Corinthian until he runs. We can dream all we want but lets save the discussion for when he actually runs.

I am pretty sure I know better than anyone else on here the severity of Corinthian's injury. Geez.
