Title: Bernardini's Jim Dandy Figure

What did he run? Beyer has him running a 114 - a point higher than his 113 in the Preakness.

I have a question. Hesanoldsalt won the 3rd at Spa Saturday going 9 marks in 1:50.26. Bernardini ran the same distance in 1:50.50 - did the track change that much in two hours?

I don\'t buy the times and figures. Please share you TG # on this race...

Thank you
UB

Hesanoldsalt was on a fast surface where Bernardini was on a sloppy surface, keep in mind

What I am not sure of is if the track was sealed before or after the Hesanoldsalt race...I want to say after but I could be wrong

My recollection is that it was raining pretty hard during the Hesanoldsalt race. Equibase charts show the first race on a sealed track was the 4th.

I was on track that day. The track was not sealed for Hesanoldsalt\'s race - the rain began literally as the race started.

Bernardini was awesome - appearance and performance.
