I would hope the fact that he didn't win the Classic might stick enough in the Sheik's craw that he would want to keep him racing for one more year for Bernardini's reputation. I noticed that before the race, Jerry Bailey was saying, "Rarified, brilliant, etc., etc, pick your word to describe Bernardini" and after the race he said, "And here Invasor runs by a very, very good horse in Bernardini"-- how fast the superlatives fall after a loss, huh? From being compared to Affirmed to "very good" in two short minutes. |

And people dont put enough thought behind how hard it is to lose a horse as an owner. The connections lost their golden boy young in Dubai Millenum... this is probably the first horse that can be equated to him. Im sure that plays a role in treating this horse a little differently than most... and being that much more protective. |

They have everything to lose and nothing to gain by running Bernardini another year.
