If we still should consider Bernardini a super horse as you contend, what should we call Invasor?

BTW, didn't you make some bold claim this week that Invasor was in way over his head and that you were so sure about it that if he hit the top four you would stay off the board for a week? Not only did he break the top four but Bernardini (your lock of the day) was staggering as Invasor walked past him.

U miss the part in the post where I admitted that I discounted Invasor. And in case u need to see it again, I started another thread where I admit again that I was WAY WRONG on Invasor.

To answer your first question of what should we call Invasor? Well maybe we should be calling him a superhorse too. He's only lost one race and u don't find many that have seasons like he did this year. I was saying to some others that, while he may not be as good as Ghostzapper was, his HOY campaign, at least he should be, was more impressive than Ghostzapper's was. GZ ran in a weak sprint and in a low class race in Jersey before his two big races. Invasor ran in the best we have to offer. Sure, his competition sucked all year until today but when u run in the very best races, your competition can't be held against u. So, yeah, maybe we should be calling him a superhorse. Is it impossible to have more than one superhorse running at a time? I don't think so.
