I don't think we've seen his best. A.P. Indy's typically mature later and I honestly believe that this horse hasn't been maxed out yet. It would really be something to be able to see him run next year, but I doubt that we're going to...

I agree with the previous posters who think we have not seen Bernie's best yet. I am hoping the powers-that-be will afford us the privilege of seeing this dynamic horse run as a four-year-old. I know it is a longshot, but it certainly is possible.

I'd be shocked if he didn't run in the World Cup. It would be like Tiger Woods skipping the Masters.

Actually if Discreet Cat skipped the World Cup it would be the shock, not Bernardini. Bernardini doesn't already have a win over the Dubai track and Bernardini has the pedigree and no soundness issues that would make it logical that he would be retired because he has exactly what broodmare owners with the top mares are looking for. Discreet Cat might earn more on the track than he can in the breeding shed.

yep, we have not seen even close to his best.
hell, the horse still does not know what its like to be hit or asked.

he is Mineshaft with more natural speed and we all saw what Mineshaft did as a 4YO.
