I believe he is still running down the Belmont stretch as we speak.

Think Starcraft is standing in Europe or Australia somewhere, no?

I hear they sent him to stud where he was born back at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. I bet you guys didn't know he was a half brother to Snoopy.

That horse ran a heck of a race in the BC given what he was up against. Saint Liam was much the best but if that horse gets a better post and more luck, he possibly gets 2nd/3rd....

He was checked more in the race then he actually got to run

Did Blockhead possess you?

I remember he hated St. Liam and loved Starcraft, he got some whacked out idea that since it was NY that they gave Starcraft a bad post and gave St. Liam a good one, too bad they were right next to each other, god that was funny...

Not to get off track ..., cold ex... Bern/Ando. Agree with Randall. But, what's the point? $5 for $2? Not for me.

Says in USA Today ML

Bernar 1/2
Dylan Thomas 2/1 LOL

Wanderin Boy 5/1
Andromeda's Hero 15/1

Do they know something about Dylan Thomas that know one else does???

Wanderin Boy/Bernardini

Cannon Shell · #10 10-06-2006, 10:45 AM

Chalk 2 speed number Bernardini - Wandering Boy $5.20 exacta

Wanderin Boy will set easy fractions with Berardini laying a length behind till the turn where he will pass him and open up 3. Dylan will be eased late and AH will get hopelessly behind and rally for 3rd - 11 lengths behind the eased up winner.

Well I missed the exacta price by .60 but called it pretty good with the Dylan Thomas easing and AH getting beat 12 instead of 11. Not everyday that you cash a $5.80 exacta and be happy but there was almost no other plausable result.

Look at the facts people. KM came back and said Invasor's blood work was fine. What the hell kind of infection was that? Obviously not much of one.

And if Bernardini had run poorly then Discreet Cat would have miraculously appeared in the BC Classic.

The sheiks have American racing by the gonads. Pure and simple.

It will pay more than 5$ Sent2.

Gander · #14 10-06-2006, 11:43 AM

They never intended to run Invasor here unless Bern got ill.

Then why didnt the connections just come out and say this 3-4 weeks ago, rather than flat out lie about it? I read articles quoting Mcglaughlin saying he thought Bernardini was a great horse but he thought Invasor was up to the task, blah blah blah. Why all the lies? Why falsely promote a matchup that they never intended to have happen? Lies.

Gander · #15 10-06-2006, 11:46 AM

Randall, I cant see that exacta wont pay more than $8. I like Wanderin Boy a lot more and unlike Andromedas Hero, he actually has a shot to win if Bernardini isnt 100% and the pace goes a certain way. He is a lot better of a horse than most give him credit for. I think Zito really thinks he can win this and so do I. This coming from somebody who thinks Bernardini is the real deal.

I thought Wanderin was very unimpressive last out. Things his own way and went slowly. I think he's actually not nearly in the kind of form he was in the spring. Couldn't fathom him on top.

WHy say it 3-4 weeks out? They had every intention of running him I believe, provided something caused Bern to miss the race. I had no doubt that they wouldn't meet, none.
