As captivating as he is on TV, I'm telling you he is even more in person. I truly felt like I was watching something special on Saturday, and I had the goosebumps to prove it.

I didn't even know who won the Preakness on Preakness day because of what happened to Barbaro, but when I watched the replay (of course skipping the part where the incident occurred) I was stunned at the wonderful performance that Bernardini put in. At this point and time, Bernardini's performance was being widely over-looked by a concerned/devastated racing community. I really wish I could see Bernardini in person (now, not on Preakness day, all the money in the world wouldn't have made me go to that Preakness). You should feel privileged that you got the opportunity!
