 SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) - Bernardini will not be overlooked again. The brilliant 3-year-colt outclassed the field in the $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday, proving to just about everyone that his victory in the Preakness Stakes was no fluke.
"I guess there was a lot of doubt in people's minds about the Preakness," winning trainer Tom Albertrani said. "Today, he showed us what a really good horse he is. I wasn't really surprised."
Usually cautious with his comments, Albertrani has been raving about Bernardini ever since the colt's 5 1/4-victory in the May 20 Preakness, a race that will be remembered as the one in which Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro shattered his right hind leg in the first few strides.
