Bernardini had never been 2 turns, that worked out okay...

JMO, but I think that Bernardini is a more talented horse than High Finance AND furthermore, when you look at his dosage profile, it is better suited for longer races. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong, but I won't be playing this horse this weekend. I'll take my chances I suppose.

I don't believe in dosage, voodoo if you ask me, Bernardini is definitely more talented than High Finance, but Bernardini is not running and there's no world beaters in here....

You're right about that... it really is anyone's race at this point.

i think dosage has more to do with this race than the Derby.
it is much easier to look for big numbers in the solid and professional categories then it is to try to judge the whole profile.

there are a few good horses in here, with others entered to hopefully achieve the line 'classic placed' on their stallion page. of course you never know, there could be a 'sarava' in the field....

Totally agree with you on that one, Paul.
We both know which one has a 14 right in the middle... (hush).
The Belmont presents something that many aren't bred for.
Heck, flash at short distance at the 2yo sales, and all the "need for speed" won't get anyone a horse that can last a mile and a half.
Might make the breeder a nice price at the auction...but not the required staying (heart).
By the way, if you like paternal grand sire Deputy Minister, take a guess who's paternal grandsire both Big Daddy Ray and Shot o' Bourbon's is....
Yup...Deputy Minister.

Just like no horse with RAN in the dam sire line ever won the Belmont, until Point Given....

Just like no horse with RAN in the dam sire line ever won the Derby, until Barbaro...

This guy who invented Dosage is a Grade A clown and fraud, I can't believe people actually listen to him. I love the way he goes back and adjust his figures to be right, what an idiot he is...
