Totally agree, he couldn't beat D.C. or Invasor over here...no way he's gonna in the desert!

He seems to be liking the desert and ran a nice race in Saudi Arabia from what I hear. . . Invasor's one bad race was there so who knows how he'll run this time. . . So while I don't think Premium Tap will win (but he can), I don't agree with the argument that he has less of a chance to win because of where the race is. . .

Absolutely love Invasor in this race becuase their will be value there with Discreet Cat in the race and some other horses that have no shot, he might be worth a $500 win wager, thus all of Saturday will be a free day. While I think Discreet Cat is a monster, he is a monster at the longest, 9 furlongs, after that, issues. The only caution I have is I said this about Ghostzapper and Zapper and DC have comparable numbers and performances so I could be wrong again.

So, $500 win wager on Invasor early in the morning, and then get to piss away those winnings on the rest of Saturday......

I'll say to you the same thing I said to the "Ghostzapper can't go 10 furlongs" posse. You know that Discreet Cat has issues after 9 furlongs, how? Did you see him tank in some 10-furlong race that I didn't see?

In my opinion it doesn't matter how bad the other horses besides the big three are so I don't see where the value is with Invasor or DC. . . If you bet Invasor you're getting even money on him to beat the other two best dirt horses in the world. ..

Of course Bernardini had run at the relevant distance prior to the showdown unlike Discreet Cat. Let's see if Discreet Cat can even beat Premium Tap at 10 furlongs before we worry about him against Invasor.

Bernardini did beat the rest of the field on BC day coming in second,including Lava Man, imo is still rather impressive.

I think the odds will be higher than even money. You can get a guaranteed 7-5 right now at TheGreek. I'm not saying that's enough, though.

i don't see these two matching up again after this--and with everything those two accomplished to this point, i don't think another race this year will have two competitors as tough as these guys facing off. plenty of races to avoid each other-only the bcc could potentially have them both-and that's a long ways off.
