Brisbet take on Bernie

[dellinger63]

"He captured Saturday's Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) under a gallop, widening his lead through the stretch to 6 3/4 lengths with jockey Javier Castellano sitting still in the saddle. That makes six straight wins for the wondrous equine, and it's the same story every time. When Bernardini reaches the top of the stretch, the race is over. Castellano can name the margin.

Swift and powerful on the track, Bernardini's excellence can be measured by Speed ratings. He's on hallowed ground with numbers, earning a whopping 116 BRIS Speed rating for the Jockey Club Gold Cup. The bay colt posted a 111 Speed rating for his 7 3/4-length romp in the Travers S. (G1), and a 114 for his 5 1/4-length score in the Preakness S. (G1). In fact, the lowest Speed number Bernardini has earned since breaking his maiden is a 110. Very special indeed.

How good is Bernardini?

He's good enough to leave goose bumps.

Horses like Bernardini can capture our imagination. He still has to win the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) on November 4, but no horse appears capable of stopping him. The Classic may be his defining moment."

Sidebar: Lava Man earned a 107 in his last which is below Bernardini's last 3. If you saw the JGC dini jogged and is capable of much more. My hope is we see how much more Nov 4.
PS Even if he loses at least I'll get a Carolina pork samich which will be worth the trip to Louisvilleby itself. LOL
