I feel totally justified after this race. Bernardini had beat no one and when the chips were down he didnt have what it took. He needed the challenge before today and thats why (I feel) he didnt win.

Bernie is a hell of a 3 year old... I'm more impressed with him than I was to begin with...
With that said, he showed very little heart today... JMO.

Well, I have to admit it - the Lava Dude doesn't ship well. Those South American horses are all tough as nails; many of their G1s down there have purses that are under $100K in our money, so one can buy a champion for less than one pays for a high-end yearling.

Great Horse comparisons can be put to rest
No excuses. Bernardini ran an excellent race but he simply wasn't the best. The comparisons to other great horses in the past should stop now. He's obviously an incredible horse but simply not an all time great. In my mind, he would have had to do more than just win today to be put in the class of previous great horses. The racing god's have rendered a decision; Bernardini is another in a long list of overhyped horses.

Thank God. Invasor would've beaten him in the Gold Cup too.

Bernardini is 1 for 2 against older males on dirt. Secretariat was 1 for 3 against older males on dirt.

If they go ahead and retire him now, at least they can't say "there's nothing else to prove". Nothing against Bernardini. He ran a super race, and finishing 2nd in the BC Classic can hardly be called a disgrace. But to say he's the best thing we've seen in decades was over the top for the amount he'd raced. --Dunbar

And Secretariat was overrated as well. But an alltime great nonetheless while Bernie is a terrific horse. Nothing more. Not even sniffing Mineshaft by the way.
