I agree 100%. I don't think the move was too early. It seems that way now because he lost but I just think he lost to a horse that ran better than him. The move was fine. It beat 11 other horses and the one that it didn't beat, it may not have made a difference when he made the move. Also, the rider on Invasor was also making a move at the same time. It just wasn't as explosive as Bernardini's or as eye-catching because Bernardini's move put him to the lead while Invasor's only put him in contention.
