Bernardini IS

[Buffymommy]

OK, I just watched the race. He won easily and it wouldn't surprise me if he does win the Breeder's Cup. (not that I think he is going to win cause you all know who I am really rooting for).

Bernardini is a good very good horse. OK, so his time wasn't that great, but he really wasn't asked. But then I question: Has Bernardini ever really been asked? Has another horse every kept up with him stride for stride in the homestretch and has he had to battle to the wire with another horse? If he has, I haven't seen it. Until I do, I will not dub him "the next great". Not that he isn't a very good horse, because he is. Just not labeling him "GREAT" yet.

But when Drifty kicks his butt in the Classic, I will not dub him great... (Just being sarcastic, but here's to hoping.)
