i would like to join those who agree with this statement. winning alone on the front end doesn't make a horse special.

Stick to betting imaginary pick 6's and unloading monopoly money on Discreet Cat.

I would run Invasor in the Pimlico Special, the Suburban, Whitney, BC Classic, Donn and then back in the DWC

Maybe a couple races in Hong Kong

If it's confined to this thread it'll have to wait until tomorrow. Fairbanks needs time to recharge his batteries.

Because you just said a winner of a horrible grade 3 race would beat one of the best horses to ever run in SoCal. Not beat him away from SoCal, mind you, but in SoCal on a surface that neither have been over yet. You deserve no respect and should go to the corner and put on the dunce cap. Some of your claims are so retarded I envision Corky from Life Goes On on the other end of the internet drooling out what he considers gospel.

Well if Premium Tap comes back to the States

Invasor and Premium Tap should have a great couple of races.

Personally though he might have had Invasor goin into the turn but got destroyed in the stretch

While we're reaching for competition for Invasor, I'll add a couple of names Buzzard's Bay? Steviewonderboy? maybe Nobiz by the end of the year. That said, if there's a horse out there that can beat him at 10 furlongs, I haven't seen 'em. Not that they would run Invasor on the turf, but think Vengeance of Rain could present some issues...

Buzzard's Bay stinks.

And to use another Serlingisim, I'm not sure who will return first---Stevie Wonderboy or Jesus.

"Stinks" is a little harsh. Buzzard's Bay was pretty impressive at Oaklawn last year, but not sure he's run since...

And just what is your current version (today's standpoint, please) of a "real racehorse?"

I think that Invasor is the best horse we've seen in a while, but typically good US return performances from the DWC are rare. I won't bet him in the Surburban, but may not bet against him.......

bernardini, barbaro, invasor, showing up, latent heat, half ours,

lava man has never beat anyone, who is the best horse he beat ?
you could argue that the best horse he ever beat was kings drama who is a solid grade 2 turf horse.

I guess I just disagree with you on what a real racehorse is...

Lava Man is a former claimer who has gone on to beat just about every horse (granted in California) who has showed up to race against him. I'd be proud to own such a horse. He's been a great investment to his owners, which is more than you can say for a lot of other racehorses.
