number in the Belmont has stood the test of time.No need to apologize, but I would have thought the Hopeful not being graded would have raised some flags!Lol, yes its not fair that Bernie has not met the top boys yet, but again Wanderin Boy and Andromeda's are just plain patsies. I am fairly certian, that he would have manhandled both Sunday Silence and Easy Goer that year. One other thing, his 1:57 was 20 lengths better than the "wonderhorse" everyone is so hyped up about. ...
