Yes, that's the same Bertrando that ran second to Arazi in the 1991 Juvenile. Here's what happened two years later.




Jockey Jerry Bailey on Arcangues after the race:

"I didn't even talk to [trainer Andre] Fabre until I was already on the horse in the walking ring today. The groom was trying to tell me something, and he spoke French and I don't, so I really didn't know. I mean, I couldn't understand my instructions in the paddock. My knowledge of French is, 'Oui, oui.' Thank you is a universal language, so I said that a few times. They were very nice people and gracious. All Fabre really told me when I was walking out of the ring was don't override him in the beginning."

The man's in the Hall of Fame for a reason.
