This is all I have left for Candy Ride:

This PP shows Candy ride as the #2 and Megdalio D'Oro in bold. Was this a 2003 BC Classic early edition?

I am obviously biased but: Pim Special, Suburban, Whitney, BCClassic, Donn.
Plus Dubai win. 6 consecutive grade 1 wins.
Only loss was at dubai of a 5 month layoff, before he started his USA campaign of five consecutive grade 1s.

I think Invasor could be as high as #3.

He was a power plodder and I definitely don't think he was as talented as Medaglia D' Oro or Congaree ... but his resume was in fact clearly better.

Some of his Grade 1 wins were over soft competition.

In the Pimlico Special, Wanderin Boy was 4/5 and Harlington 2/1.

In the Suburban, Wild Dessert and Andromidea's Hero were 2nd and 3rd.

In the Whitney, Sun King, West Virginia, and We Can Seek made up the 2 through 4 finishers.

In the Donn, Hesanoldsalt, and A. P Arrow were 2nd and 3rd.

Don't get me wrong, Invasor was an outstanding horse with a great resume ... but he won some very soft Gr 1's and his BC Classic win came in a fast paced 10f race that suits his power plodding style ... and his chief rival Bernardini (who I tried to beat) was the victim of a pretty terrible ride.

I still get excited watching that Whitney Stakes.

Premium Tap was rounding into a decent horse. Wow was Flower Alley terrible as a 4 year old.
