and yes, it's the same thing i've been saying about bernardini, they want that homebred, that big stallion. but it's not as easy as they seem to think it might be.

everyone understands what they're attempting, they want that big classic winning horse. ironic thing is--they had him in bernardini!! Mo might never have another as good as him, regardless of the pairings they arrange for their colt in the shed.

It's different guys technically but it's still the same family. Technically, Discreet Cat, Invasor, and Bernardini all have different owners. Same with Henny Hughes and Dubai Escapade. If the writer and others are going to complain that they didn't run Dubai Escapade and Discreet Cat because the family already had others in the race, then those same people that are complaining should be willing to acknowledge that the family didn't just duck the race with anything horse that was able to beat the "star". If that's what they were attempting to do, believe me, a call would have been made and Invasor would not have been in the Classic.
