Hmmm. Seems like Mr. Pricci reads Derby Trail. Either that or he's on the same page as a few of the members here.

That's funny... it sounds a lot like what we hear on here. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest bit either. Thanks for posting that...

good for Pricci...I guess the sheik's money doesn't have the same pull over @ MSNBC as it does within the industry.

He is just standing up for beyer and haskin who have been slapped around in the last day or two by their employers. As that guy Nichols said "The Maktoum family is going to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time to come." Live with it.

Who cares if Bernardini was retired. I sat out at Belmont Park and there were like 7000 people there for his JCGC.

So you're a rasta?

I have to agree with the overall point.....I know it was the 'rational' thing to do, but if they weren't so irrational in their spending all of the time then maybe I would accept this retirement....Frankly, it is a bit hypocritical when you look at their operation for them to retire this horse sound with only a handful of starts and 9 months of racing under his belt....

I was told from somebody from Darley that Discreet Cat was a BIG factor in retiring Bernardini because they feel that DC will win all of the big races in Dubai and the US next year and didn't want the two racing against each other....

They are greedy for stallion power. Bernardini looks like a much better stallion prospect than Discreet Cat or Invasor. It is not very "sporting" in the eyes of this fan.
