Richiebees post involved horses volitionally passing the Triple Crown grind. Not sure Henny had a choice. Can he be a good one?....yes. Who said I was disinclined to favor him sprinting? I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, Hennys a sprinter One Hunderd Per Cent.

They were saying the same thing about Barbaro prior to the Preakness and Bernardini made my day. If you think that Bernardini is the second coming and has proven it in his heats including the JCGC last against one horse of note that may have been on the downhill side of top step right up and crush him at 2-1, maybe 7-5? I'll take my chances betting against him. As far as being a contrarian, theres always an edge in betting against low odds horses facing the toughest competition of their careers. That said, at this point, I don't see a Barbaro or Lost in the Fog stand against him.

No I'm really not. Not at all. I'll be impressed if he can hit the board in the B.C. Classic though

Theres only one way to win at this game. Beat vulnerable low odds horses. It really is that simple. I've been very patient waiting for the right race to oppose Bernardini and as stated I'll be in the "Beat Bernardini" line.
