It is a good scratch in my opinion. The horse didnt really have a shot in this race IMO. Tough post, the race doesnt set up for him well. There are other races he could go in that are easier.

Barcola is at least going to be in front for the majority of the race. Theres nothing wrong with taking a shot with a horse you know is going to be involved and going to be trying. I cant see him winning but you never know.

Those odds were just what I thought the betting public would bet each horse down to (appx). In no way do I think 9/2 is fair for Magna Graduate. I side with those on here who regard him as never being able to run big against the best horses and Invasor should go right by him at will.

I think Invasor wins this at 80%.

Do the connections of Strong Contender realize Seattle Allstar has said Invasor is free money?

they must have missed that, or they would have entered a second horse just in case SC couldn't make it.

With the scratch of Strong Contender, I have Invasor at almost 60% to win it. So, we are converging! ;>)
