Any Questions?

As Kenny Mayne says Invasor...He's the best! Great race and I commend Bernie but he was not the same horse when he was challegned instead of just walking over opponets. Invasor was all heart and a hell of a lot of talent.

Oh you bet I did! He bailed out my day. It should have been a real big day for me becasue I also had Red Rocks and Street Sense but I managed to not do much until the finale.

I'm not going to be one of those guys that bumps up his old posts but I have made several attempts over the past couple of months to explain why I thought Invasor could very well beat Dini. Beside the fact that he is flat out very fast, it was also the way in which he won his races. He had to overcome many obstacles, going wide, lots of dirt in the face, pace pressure early and late, etc. But not many would listen.

I drew a line through the Dubai race because of the Valium that they found in his system. If you draw a line through that race what is apparent is that this is a tremendous horse and is undefeated in the Western Hemisphere.


People would just say things like, "Well he can't be as good because he only beat Sun King by a nose"

If they go ahead and retire him now, at least they can't say "there's nothing else to prove". Nothing against Bernardini. He ran a super race, and finishing 2nd in the BC Classic can hardly be called a disgrace. But to say he's the best thing we've seen in decades was over the top for the amount he'd raced.

Thats right! Berardini is a tremendous horse and nothing against him at all.
Finishing second is no disgrace. It's just the hype had gotten so out of hand.

I really liked him today but was too stupid to just bet money on his nose. I was still trying to sniff out a big score. I bet like a moron!

As a person who bets longshots- I tried to beat Bernardini. I paired Bernie up in exacta boxes with a couple of bombs (one being Premium Tap), but yeah... I hope they bring him back to race at 4.

He hasn't won a "big huge race" that will really jack up the stud fee. Unless the oil sheiks are content, they should let him race at least up to the Dubai World Cup...

But a very impressive win by Invasor. I give him all the credit. Good thing Jara didn't have to face a choice between riding Jazil and Invasoir in this race lol.
