Default You'll Never Get 6 to 1 on Invasor Again

I should have bet more than $2 to win.......

Oh well, at least I got something That was surprising though. I would have expected Invasor to be 3-1 and Lava Man 7-1 or 8-1. I mean all of Invasor's beyers were better than Lava Man. Sure Lava Man was undefeated this year, but so was Invasor in the States.

You're right because he'll get retired now.

I'd honestly be surprised to see him get retired. With his pedigree, I think they'd want to showcase him a little more. His pedigree is full of US under-achievers and S.American blood. S.American sires have not fared well as of late in the US. I think we'll see him in Dubai and then a carefully mapped out season next year.

He will fit in nicely at Shadwell with the other misfits that they stand at stud

Actually Lava Man had the highest Beyer of any horse in the field. He once ran a 120 Beyer.

I don't know why he runs so bad when he travels. The west coast horses usually do very well when they go back east. Even horses who he has beaten out west have done well when they have gone back east.

Borrego won the JCGC by about 6 lengths. Buzzard's Bay won the Oaklawn Handicap by about 6 lengths. Lava Man beat them both in California.

Giacomo ran 4th today and Brother Derek ran 5th. Lava Man kills Giacomo and Brother derek in California. So you can't argue that Lava Man ran the same today but was facing tougher competition. Lava Man simply didn't fire today. There is no excuse. He's not going to get any real respect until he wins on the road and rightfully so.

Well...overall Invasor's looked more consistent to me. I threw away the Form but I remember reading a bunch of 107s and 108s for Lava Man, while Invasor looked to be in the 111 to 113 range.
