No way was yesterday's race better than his BC Classic performance. Not even on the same page. First, he was closer to the pace because it was a crawlfest. Kandidate, the horse who everyone figured to go to the front, didn't, or couldnt. Discreet Cat was a total no-show. Last November, Invasor had to run down Bernardini, who at the time was favorite for Horse of the Year and he did it while wide over a rail friendly surface. Premium Tap had a good trip last November and still was 7 lengths behind. The also rans in the BC race would've murdered those Asian wannabe dirt runners who were fillers for yesterday's race.
