Taking a Stand Against Bernardini

Bernardini will lose the Travers tomorrow. The horse has faced some pretty dim competition, making his star appear brighter than it actually is.
I'll take a shot with Minister's Bid (trained by John Ward), who will hopefully go off near or above his 8/1 morning line. He's run huge in all his races so far. Minister's Bid chased a tough pace with Bernardini through the first seven furlongs of the Jim Dandy, only his third career race, before giving way (and finishing second, nine lengths behind Bernardini).
I think he turns the tables tomorrow. Minister's Bid to win and we'll box him in exactas with High Cotton and hope for a price. Good luck to all on Travers Day.

Nah, just dumb. I'm beginning to suspect that this Bernardini hoss can actually run.

oops...maybe wait until the showdown with Invasor and then start considering a reason to not back Bernardini
