The Classic is shaping up to be one of the greatest races of all time if Invasor, Lava Man, Discreet Cat, Bluegrass Cat and Bernardini run.

I have been a "wait-and-see" type with regards to this horse and I have been critical of some of his fans. Well I saw it today. He is the goods.

How do you let that horse get the lead and run those slow fractions?!!!!!!!!!

The figures will be low for the race, but this guys is a monster. 3 yr old of the year, but maybe not HOY yet.

I"m impressed, But will Betsy and Joel be happy with 201 and change? Bluegrass Cat was clearly upset before going to the gate and Bernardini was as cool as could be.

Can't wait to see the replay! How'd BGC look? Good, but in a lower class?

Good for Bernardini. Here's hoping he stays healthy!

When you saw 48 for the half you knew it was over.

High Cotton was the Cat's only chance for this race. He needed to get the lead and either burn Bernie up or help block him on the rail. Nice race by the Cat, he gave it all he could, but no way he was gaining into those fractions.

He could've been out in 46 and change and they still wouldn't have caught him.

And with regards to Bluegrass Cat...this horse wasn't rested for the race and it showed. Don't give up on him yet.

Bluegrass Cat looked good in the paddock but was wet by the time he approched the starting gate and was a bit unrulely. My guess is the he was intimidated by Bernardini.

Happy? I'm ecstatic. Question is, are the speed freaks? 2:01 and change is a good time and he ran pretty easily down the lane, too. If others aren't impresssed, that's not going to bother me anymore. I'm thrilled, period. By the way, Pletcher doesn't mind when BC gets washy, since he's been quoted as saying that that's when he runs his best. Bernardini dumped JC in the post-parade, so that worried me; fortunately, he did retain his cool.
