Barbaro reminds me of one of the classy all-time great turf types, and Bernardini reminds me of the classy all-time great dirt types. You have to admit that Bernardini's presence, power, build, and movement remind you of those great horses such as Seattle Slew, Affirmed, and Secretariat for those of you blinded by your obvious bias against and dislike of Bernardini. BOTH HORSES ARE AWESOME.

Of course thoroughbreds are high strung. They wouldn't be called hot blooded horses if they weren't. And I'm sorry, but I don't think Bernardini even compares to Secretariat. Seattle Slew... yes, definitely. Both Slew and Bernardini aren't built all that great, but both have run through their lack on conformation. The fact that you even compared Bernardini to Affirmed makes me laugh. I haven't seen a horse with his build and presence since Easy Goer. Talk about being blinded by bias! LOL
