The pace set up well for him and they did not come home fast on a track that seemed to be a tick or 2 fast. Not saying that he was fully cranked or trying to denigrate the horse but this was not some superior performance. It was a very good horse overcoming a bit of trouble while beating overmatched foes.
Feel free to blast me.

it's hard to really get a feel for the race because of how everything unfolded. obviously invasor should have come down the lane easy as pie-had his jock not made a colossal blunder early. says a lot about the horse that he came on again after that trouble-and also speaks volumes about the rest of the field that he took off so easy-you look that much better when everyone else is backpedalling.
that race shouldn't have had any excitement at all to it. here's hoping nothing is sore on him tomorrow!
