I think Invasor is very good but we have a tendency to sometimes overestimate the most recent horse or athlete. I don't think I can hold the Lasix thing against Alysheba; its legal everywhere in North America. If they had a Dubai World Cup back in 1988 does anybody think a Euro or South American horse would've stood a chance against Alysheba? No way.

well, since you're not allowed lasix in dubai, it might have hindered his chances there.

Maybe, maybe not. I know Alysheba didn't run well in the Belmont but the 12 furlongs might've been what did him in. Very similar to Unbridled in that respect. But when Unbridled ran w/out Lasix in NY in the 1990 BC Classic at 10 furlongs, it didn't matter.
