He was beaten by a horse off a huge layoff, and that horse was trounced by Discreet Cat.
Nobody thinks that? More like YOU don't think that..........unless you interview everyone in the racing industry, then interview the Shiekh personally to find out how he feels about Bernardini, then your statement is nothing more than opinion. All I've read from people like John Ferguson, the Sheikh's son are pure raves about Bernardini - not once did I read anything declaring that Bernardini was anything other than a tremendous racehorse and they certainly never declared that Invasor or DC was better. Talk about wishful thinking

the damn horse just won the most important dirt race in the world.
respect is somewhat implied.

do we really need 10 different journalists to write editorials on the merits of his win?

anyone who watched that win by that horse against a clear bias knows just how impressive of a run it was.
he and his connections do not require any words by journalist to justify the accomplishment.

I guess people(me included) are justifying why Bernardini lost as oppose to why Invasor won !!
Invasor was very impressive and won because he was the better horse not because Dini moved early. imo it wouldnt have mattered much. just my opinon.

if they had not made Bern move when he did,
he would not have even run 2nd.
it was the right move.
he just did not run as well as he previously did(yeah, I know you fig ppl say otherwise but I dont agree) and Invasor ran a huge race.
maybe if this was the BC of AP Indy or Volponi, it would have been enough to win.
but it wasnt.
