With regard to Bernardini, he is obviously a great horse. I don't think Invasor would have any shot against Bernardini. I would make the over/under on how may lengths Bernardini would beat Invasor by at about 3 lengths minimum. That is a conservative estimate. If they ran in a match-race, I think Bernardini would beat him by at least 5 lengths.

Wow. thats quite a statement rupert. It would make for a really interesting topic. I loved Cigar's and sunday silence and tiznow's respective performances as well for that race.
