Ding Ding Ding.

if you look, i really did not start this as a "i was right" thread. as for being a one hit wonder, that is more true than you know. i was having a nightmare of a bc all day. i couldn't hit a thing until the classic.

dude you called it you got your props..dini is still a fine horse and id bet big money that if he were to still be racing he would beat invasor 50 perc of the time..cheap shot..

Man, I don't care, you can post whatever you want. I'm just letting you know that you sound real bitter about SOMETHING (my guess is you didn't have Invasor, DaHoss says you bet HK, maybe it's both), and your excuses for beating this dead (or retired) horse are weak.

i told you....i am bitter about the bern-hype from last year. that's it. i did bet invasor and i didn't bet hk. i guess you will just have to take my word on that. i don't claim to be a great handicapper. i know i've lost a lot more $$ than i've won over the years, and i'll gladly fess up to the ones i get wrong.
the bernmafia just really rubbed me the wrong way last year. i guess in part because i am huge fan of secretariat and barbaro. i still remember when bern won the jim dandy last year one of them started a thread called "barbaro who?" and then they started talking about how he was better than secretariat. frankly stuff like that (and there was a lot of it) just pissed me off, and so, i take every opportunity to rip the horse.

That's fine. But how long are you going to have this chip on your shoulder? I didn't like all the Barbaro = Secretariat hype last year. Do I make a thread every time Sharp Humor or Brother Derek or Sinister Minister or any of those other god awful horses he beat in the Derby loses? No, because that's extremely petty, proves no point and does nothing other than make me look bitter.

There should be a statute of limitations on chest-thumping.

Geez, let it go advance, Bernardini was a fine horse, not one of the greats, but this is a little silly...

To me the Bernardini bashing is something like the Mineshaft bashing of 2003. Maybe people who do this resent horses that are bred to the purple, especially sons of A.P. Indy. It is just a thought, but I remember someone at another forum who frequently took cheap shots at A.P. Indy.
