Tomorrow's DRF article on the Classic says Bernardini is expected to be retired after the Classic:
"The unbeaten Discreet Cat is expected to make his next start in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Nov. 25. He will remain in training next year, whereas Bernardini is expected to be retired following the Classic. Discreet Cat was pre-entered merely as an insurance policy in case something unforeseen strikes Bernardini before final entries are due, and post positions are drawn, next Wednesday."
