Some of his Grade 1 wins were over soft competition.

In the Pimlico Special, Wanderin Boy was 4/5 and Harlington 2/1.

In the Suburban, Wild Dessert and Andromidea's Hero were 2nd and 3rd.

In the Whitney, Sun King, West Virginia, and We Can Seek made up the 2 through 4 finishers.

In the Donn, Hesanoldsalt, and A. P Arrow were 2nd and 3rd.

Don't get me wrong, Invasor was an outstanding horse with a great resume ... but he won some very soft Gr 1's and his BC Classic win came in a fast paced 10f race that suits his power plodding style ... and his chief rival Bernardini (who I tried to beat) was the victim of a pretty terrible ride.

Did you consider orientate for older sprinter?

Barbaro was better than both of them.

Barbaro was not close to Point Given. Maybe he could have turned out to be that good, but we will never know. Barbaro would have struggled to beat Bernardini in the Preakness. Point Given was better, faster and more accomplised on the track. I could be wrong but has a horse won 4 straight $1,000,000 Grade 1's since?
