Dubai World Cup

He looked like he was going perfectly normally to me. Sitting off the leaders, coming to the leaders, wearing the leaders down. It's his MO, in fact.

It is incredible, this horse causes huge blind spots in the racing community.
Most have been horribly slow to see the positives, and now others are seeing negatives that don't exist.

We've talked about this so many times, but compare this climate to the Bernardini fanfare all last year.
I mean where are all the threads titled "IS INVASOR the greatest horse in the past 25 years???"

Instead its like "ho hum, I don't think he was rolling the normal way"

okay, too funny!!!!

I guess you don't understand, I love Invasor. He's my favorite horse right now, I was in no way dissing his race yesterday, I loved it.

Go back and watch some of his other races, he was not moving the same way. He's had one loss and it was at that track.

I guess I shouldn't expect much out of you, because you're such a dumba$$ that you can't even tell I was admiring Invasor.

I dont think they went that quick early on.. so i was very surprised with the finishing time..

Don't know too much about dirt racing, but Invasor must be one of the fastest finishers in recent years.. As I said, he's like a train and just builds up some momentum!!

Dude I agree. Sadly, the days of getting good prices on him are over and done with, but at least I cleaned up when they were good. I agree though, with horses like 'Cat and Bernardini, we're (read, not us) quick to ask questions like "BEST HORSE IN THE WORLD?!'" "NEXT SECRETARIAT" "FASTER THAN EASY GOER?!" before they've really done anything of note at all.

Yet somehow people are still hesitant to give Invasor all the credit he deserves. He is a GREAT racehorse, and one of the best ones to come along in some time.

I was done talking about your post after my last post. Stop taking it so personally.

I'm not "interpreting" anything in this thread, but pointing out how people have responded (repeat, "people," not "that guy pointg5").

So with that, if I were you I'd reconsider who's calling who a "dumba$$" here, buddy.

You seemed just fine to chime in on it before, so I didn't think this was different. Maybe you aren't a dumba$$.

Okay so you admire Invasor, good for you. That wasn't my main point to you which is that you don't know what you're talking about and can't define any of the comments you made about not rolling and how it was not normal.

Many people like yourself just spew out words in a effort to appear like they really know something. But when you probe them a bit you find out that the thoughts were based on faulty reasoning, failed to employ logic, or were simply not thought out that well at all. With you it's probably a blend of these elements.

Since you also immediately when challenged resort to name calling, my conclusion is that you have nothing to offer and are simply an angry unpleasant person and not one that I want to waste any further time on.

Stay away from the other forum then because over there Invasor isn't that impressive.

not sure what forum that is, but that sounds crazy! how can anyone not be impressed with invasor? i guess he isn't 'thrilling' enough for some, doesn't close out of the clouds with a rush, just catching the leaders at the wire, and giving everyone a heart attack...he doesn't explode out of the turn with a huge burst.
yet, he wins-all but once, champion on three continents and best horse in the world--but some aren't impressed.
that is sheer lunacy-and a perfect example of ignoring what's right in front of your nose!

Yeah somehow his campaign just isn't enough for them.

that's CRAZY!

i wonder how many who are unimpressed thought gz's campaign was just fine, or that bernardini did enough, and proved himself??

Yeah I know, and I bet I know who said that.

I think its the same guy who came on here and said Discreet Cat would win EASILY, yesterday. Its not fair to keep picking on him though because he has such a horrible handicapping record.

He actually hasn't posted yet....I'm sure he's probably still typing his response to it all since Invasor hit the wire yesterday.

There are people who would rather perceive brilliance in the annihilation of mediocrity than in less "flashy" wins against much better.

Well one thing we know for sure, whenever he completes his response, is that he WILL NOT be impressed. I can guarantee that.

Any guesses as to how long it would have taken him to fire off a post if DC had won? I would say under a minute.!

What is it with people named after Point Given on this board? He was a very nice 3yo, but people are doing more on this board to disgrace his name than even Point Determined did!!

[ateamstupid]

I love all of these folks playing the underdog Invasor card.

I don't see anyone on here ripping apart Invasor's competition like they ripped apart Bernardini's. I don't see anyone getting their panties in a bunch, huffing and puffing about how overrated Invasor is like they did about Bernardini. So quit with the "Invasor doesn't get any respect" tomfoolery. He might not get the "Bernardini = (Insert great horse here)" threads, but he also isn't getting the "I would give my left leg to see Bernardini run last" threads either. Take a breath.

Invasor is a great horse. Anyone who denies that is a moron. As is anyone who completely writes off Bernardini for losing by a length to Invasor. As is anyone who says Invasor is definitively better than Bernardini because of that race.

They're both in my Top Five list of greatest horses I've ever seen.
