Pedigree

While speed influences are dominant in West Side Bernie’s immediate family, there is a healthy amount of stamina influences several generations back that have seemingly helped this colt achieve success over a distance of ground. West Side Bernie is by Bernstein, a multiple Irish Group 3-winning son of Storm Cat who was unplaced in his only start beyond a mile in the 2000 River City H. (G3), which also happened to be his only race in the United States.

Starter Analysis

Grade 3 winner as a freshman on Polytrack, the consistent three-year-old almost always fires and comes off a solid runner-up effort in the Wood Memorial S. (G1) for Kelly Breen. West Side Bernie hasn't missed the board in four career outings on dirt, including a deceivingly good third in the Holy Bull S.
