Guess we shall see. If he does, I will respect him. But right now? Nah... I'll leave that for you dramatic "he's the best horse ever since the Bid and Secretariat" folks.

Yet you respect DC off of one allowance race? And if you are going by the UAE Derby, then why do you still have Invasor on your list?

I respect DC, yes and in my opinion, he has beaten higher quality horses than Bernardini has (including Invasor.) I have liked him since the beginning of the year. Nowhere did I proclaim him the next Secretariat like you have been doing with Bernardini.

I don't think he's the best since Secretariat, but I think he's the best since Bid....I really do....he has only scratched the surface as far as what he is capable of, and the reason I think he is better than Discreet Cat is because he has less weaknesses than DC has...I love DC too, but he has some AWFUL action in front and is very unsound - thus he can and probably will go bad soon....Bernardini is perfect in so many ways...looks, ability, pedigree, and his stride is as good as they come on a racehorse...effortless poetry....that is why I think he is just a genuinenly better horse than DC - but I believe those two are the best horses in the world...I really do.......I would rate Hurricane Run third...

No Secreatriat comparisons here...I love Bernardini but I am also very realistic....I also believe right now that Ruffian and Seattle Slew were better horses - both from the 70s....but Bernardini could change my mind if he continues to be spectacular and continues to improve - which he will continue to improve...there is no doubt about that.....

Bernardin's BSF's indicate that he is improving gradually with every start. Withers 104 Preakness 113 Jim Dandy 114 Travers 116. I believe that there are some glitches and biases in the BSF system with certain horses and certain tracks, but after watching Bernardini run in his last for races, I can see a direct correlation between his improvement and his BSF's. In other words, I think that these BSF's are about right.

Does anyone have Bernie's last four T-Graph numbers? I don't have access to them, and would really like to know what they are.

Off topic, but when did you move down here to Florida? I just noticed that it said you were in Ocala. Are you working on one of the farms? I'm going to the October sale. You going to be there?
