i just think Bernardini is in a different talent class than he and most horses that have graced a racetrack, thus Bernardini is my pick to win reltaively comfortably but really can't see Bluegrass Cat losing second to anyone else in this group...I just can't...

OK this is the kind of post I really like. Thanks for the observations on Blue Grass Cat. Appreciate the sharing.
