The next step in life

Two days after Saturday’s Breeders Cup, the runner up in the race, Bernardini, retired to the good life and was sent to stud. Bernardini was the even money favorite going into the race at Churchill Downs, but finished second to Invasor. Bernardini is the favorite for horse of the year, but may not have even been in the running had it not been for the injury to Barbaro in the Preakness. Barbaro is still recovering, but took a major step forward towards recovery this weekend (no pun intended).
