![]() I love Bernardini but he needs an acid test like the one Barbaro had at Gulfstream with Sharp Humor. We still do not know if Bernardini will collapse when he hooks up with a horse like Invasor.

Plus, you have your opinion about what Invasor has been beating...personally, I'm not impressed with what he has beat....Wanderin Boy?...Wild Desert?...Su King?...not exactly giants in my book....Flower Alley is the only real quality he has faced and that horse is done.... Bernardini hasn't faced the greatest horses either, yes..your're right....bvut he at least beat some horses with decent upside the way he should have....the length of the stretch |

![]() I've stayed away from saying anything on this thread since it showed up.
A tip of the hat to Oracle for sharing what he saw. If I remember, on a previous thread, when Rupert asked me how I could tell that Tin Man was running "choppy" on the backstretch, when I couldn't see his legs. I didn't respond. So, now I'll say what I look for...and I expect some to "blast" away at me for saying so. When a horse is "put together", all parts work in a synchronized manner. One thing I look at is how level the horse's head is. For those that have ever watched a cat run, did you ever notice that its head isn't bouncing up and down? It's level. Besides an easy stride, absence of the head bobbing is something I look for. Bernardini has it. Many others don't. Just my two pennies worth. |
