![]() Got an unexpected treat this morning while watching works. Beradini came out and breezed under Simon Harris. Harris never even so much as moved his fingers, still as a statue the whole way. Bernadini moves incredibly, looking as if he doesn't waste any energy. Watching him move you would think he wasn't going anywhere, so smooth. Hes quite a sight, I had never seen him work before.

![]() His biomechanics are breath-taking....maybe the best quality about him - even better than his pedigree and looks IMO....but then again, he is about as perfect as they come...

He is so light and agile for his size...amazing grace and athleticism....like a cross between a ballerina and an Olympic track star....his gate is a thing of beauty....probably as close to perfect as you could want...his stride is long and smooth and very, very efficient...he wastes no action or expends any energy that isn't productive to moving forward in a positive fashion....and he's so strong for a horse that seems like his feet never touch the ground or stay on the ground for very long.....he just floats over the track...I'd love to walk out on a track after he breezes to see how far he gets into the track....I bet that it isn't near as far into the track as the average racehorse....thus, he is also not very hard on his body.... Can you tell I love this horse? Might be the most talented racehorse since Bid...just my opinion of course... ![]() |

![]() I'm starting to really like this horse as well. I wish I knew he was working out this morning, I would have went over.

![]() I'm very envious... I would have loved to have seen him work. Joel, your description was almost as good, though-- thank you for going into such detail!

![]() This is one reason why I am so in love with Bernardini - he just floats over the ground. I've never felt this way about a horse, even all the Indys that I love so much. Even a newbie to racing would know that Bernardini moves beautifully..I'm glad you got to see him in person, Mike! At least we know he's coming up to the Travers in top shape.

![]() I love Bernardini but he needs an acid test like the one Barbaro had at Gulfstream with Sharp Humor. We still do not know if Bernardini will collapse when he hooks up with a horse like Invasor.

![]() well, a horse can make all kinds of 'noise' when they work, but of course a win isn't guaranteed. we've all heard about horses over the years that blew people away, but they were unlucky...suffered injuries, illnesses, etc. some never hit the track. doesn't mean there isn't something THERE.
the dandy is the first time i really SAW bernardini. the preakness could have been won by an alien the amount of attention i paid it, and i missed the withers. he was damned impressive in that race. i can't remember the last time i saw a horse win that easily. not by the biggest margin, just EASY. he had definitely hit his stride that day. it was nice to see. i just hope he and bluegrass cat come into the travers in their best shape. i want to see a RACE, something like you and carson hollow a few years ago, or sunday silence and easy goer in the preakness. but we remember those races because they are so few and far between. you hate to ever see a loser when it happens.

Plus, you have your opinion about what Invasor has been beating...personally, I'm not impressed with what he has beat....Wanderin Boy?...Wild Desert?...Su King?...not exactly giants in my book....Flower Alley is the only real quality he has faced and that horse is done.... Bernardini hasn't faced the greatest horses either, yes..your're right....bvut he at least beat some horses with decent upside the way he should have....the length of the stretch |
