The only caution I have is I said this about Ghostzapper and Zapper and DC have comparable numbers and performances so I could be wrong again.

So, $500 win wager on Invasor early in the morning, and then get to piss away those winnings on the rest of Saturday......
In my opinion it doesn't matter how bad the other horses besides the big three are so I don't see where the value is with Invasor or DC. . . If you bet Invasor you're getting even money on him to beat the other two best dirt horses in the world. ..

Bernardini did beat the rest of the field on BC day coming in second,including Lava Man, imo is still rather impressive.

I think the odds will be higher than even money. You can get a guaranteed 7-5 right now at TheGreek. I'm not saying that's enough, though.

i don't see these two matching up again after this--and with everything those two accomplished to this point, i don't think another race this year will have two competitors as tough as these guys facing off. plenty of races to avoid each other-only the bcc could potentially have them both-and that's a long ways off.
