Looked plenty good to me.
Bernardini might have a tussle coming his way in the Travers.

Agreed. Considering that he was washed out in the post parade, I was completely impressed with his performance. He looked awesome...

He was about four wide from the half. Sure, that track plays well there, but you sacrifice a length or more running out there.
When Bravo saw him coming at the top of the stretch, my guess is that he knew it was all over. BGC won by seven...coulda been more with a tighter trip.

-3 Thoro, easy. 20 days back. Tough to do.

Yes he did look terrific. I was going to bet Strong Contender but I was down so much I needed more than 2/1 to get out.

I liked Strong Contender a little also. But just like you, that was too chalky to take.

Gotta be careful when the one-turn hot-shots go two turns. Some make the transition okay, but going against a proven class two-turn horse like Bluegrass Cat, you'd want better odds to back him.
