actually, i think invasor is running a temp, as stated, and may or may not run, as stated. it's horse racing, it's not freaking national security.
Your point is well taken. I think, however, that they are keeping Invasor in the barn to keep HIM from losing, not Bernardini.

Even if he was yellow he could still pick up a nice 2nd place check in a grade 1. I think its legit.
A second place check to these people would be about as important as me finding a penny on the sidewalk. If u have read the comments from the trainer all summer, he's let it clearly be known that he was not looking forward to facing Bernardini. This fear is far from sudden.

Man I find this pretty disappointing.
Musta been one hell of a fever, because missing two days training with a fit horse 9-10 days before a race isn't usually a very big deal. Call me skeptical.

You can probably scratch A.P. Arrow, considering he ran yesterday, but the rest seem logical.

LOL...

I dreamed that a chestnut won this race. I would say the chances of Spanish "Chestnut" winning are slim to none, so I'd go with Andromeda's Hero too.

I like him as a horse not necessarily to beat Bernardini ( or even realistically ).

Though, for a horse that isn't faster than Point Given, not that he also wasn't pretty good, Bernardini seems to be getting a little too much credit. Perhaps the dearth of good horses has confused people.

Regardless, Bernardini will probably win his next two races.
