Default Albertrani

Interview after the Classic lasted about two minutes. Whatever the question, his answer always congratulated the winner saying his colt got beat by a horse who ran a better race. Class act.

As was I. As soon as I saw Javy shake the irons I tore up my Pick 3 ticket. I nearly **** myself when he actually moved on the outside...

Maybe next year.

But as for Albertrani, in the past year I've grown to just admire and respect a lot of guys in the industry but maybe none more than Tom Albertrani and Edgar Prado.

What was he gonna say? I got outrun and outtrained? Because that is EXACTLY what happened on Saturday folks, exactly.
He had the benefit of Invasor "having a fever, LOL" and being forced to miss his last prep, while getting Bern his, and Invasor lost tons of ground on a track that was favoring rail running speed and Invasor blew by him with ease.
Kiarin fed him and the most sickeningly overglorified horse in history his nuts for dinner. It was truly a beautiful thing to behold.

More overglorified, relative to accomplishment, than circular quay?????

we can debate whether or not Bern was overrated, but Oracle,
i think FuPeg will always own the title you just described.

hell,
that horse went off as the fav in a BCC also, and got beat by tons more.

Oracle is the same guy who was gushing over Bernardini at Saratoga.......the best three year old he's seen in a long time. LOL Love those hypocrites.

Albertrani has more class in his pinky than ............fill in the blank. What does it say about someone when they get their jollies heckling a classy guy like Tom?

Mike can defend himself,
but anyone who thinks Albertrani did not get out trained needs to have their head examined.

Invasor overcame a clear bias and was much the best on Sat despite the layoff due to missed training time.
the trainer deserves credit for that.

and I say this as someone totally impressed with the year that Bern and Albertrani put together.

I am sort of consused here. Invasor is the one that got over to the rail before the first turn. Invasor raced inside of Dini the entire time until the final turn. Then he swung wider than Dini was running. The middle of the track where Dini was the worse. The inside rail was the best and then about 6-8 path was the next best. Not sure how Albertrani got out-trained. If losing a race means you got out-trained then every trainer got out-trained by 8 trainers. That is stupid to think. In addition, losing to a horse that has 9 wins, (now) 4 Grade I wins isnt that bad. Dini still beat 12 other horses rather easily.

Since the way you are talking, the ability and talent of the horse doesn't matter, just who trains who better. I think McLaughlin is a tremendous trainer, but wasn't Henny hughes up the track? Was he out trained by Doug O'Neill? Did Albertrani out the other 12 trainers in the Classic? Don't get this logic.
you are typing and assuming a bunch of things about my comments that are incorrect.

are you Albertrani's shoe shiner or something?

stop reading things into my words that are not there.

Bernardini clearly did not run his best race of the year on Saturday.
invasor clearly did.
McLaughlin and his team had their horse ready.
that is what i typed.
stop getting so damn emotional about it.
you must be a chic.

Stud,
Maybe he SHOULD have at least breezed him in a set maybe even one time, to sorta prepare him for being looked in the eye?
I love starting trouble like this thread by making one post and then going to bed. I woke up and found 70 responses. Its quite amusing.

the training was fine, bernardini ran like he always did. why can't everyone recognize that? time was the same as his other efforts at this distance, similar beyer--just this time his talent wasn't head and shoulders over the competition. only invasor beat him, not like he was beat a mile, he just couldn't win by his usual margin, because he wasn't facing the same type of horses.

Zieg while I agree with everything you wrote(I'm just loving all the Dini is the greatest horse who ever lived nitwits having to sit there and eat ****), fact is that he(Albertrani) had every edge over Invasor(KMC) in that race.
Albertrani wasn't the one who was forced to scratch his horse out of the JCGC, he got his ideal prep.
Kiarin and his brother Neal were forced to prepare Invasor off a WHITNEY LAYOFF!!!!!! And prepare he did!!!

Met Kiarin's brother Neal at a Jiffy Lube up here in Saratoga(already knew Kiarin) the day before I left for Kentucky, it was quite ironic. I had called Kiarin the day before to make an offer on a cheap NY bred he had for a Finger Lakes guy who is a client of mine. I was waiting for them to get done changing my oil and the lady behind the counter said "Mr McLaughlin, your car will be ready in 20 minutes" to the guy across from me. He had on a DUbai World Cup hat and red hair and I just looked at him and said "you just have to be Kiarins brother". He was also getting to travel down to Ky and we chatted about a few things, what a great guy. He said the horse had never trained better in his life, and I hope the folks who I passed that on to in the Friday night chat via telephone link got some.
Trust me, the good guys won that race.

Like the broke cousin who always shows up on Thanksgiving, it's good to know there are things in life you can count on.

Actually from your posts, I think Circular Quay is the most overglorified horse in history. Atleast Bernardini was competitive. A ten length beating for the greatest two year old ever.

Albertrani is nothing but class. I see why Oracle attacks him. Polar opposites.
