![]() i said elsewhere that i was never high on the horse, but i think fraud is too strong a word. he's got a lot of redeeming to do right now if he wants to get back into the hoy picture....
obviously flower alley wasn't ready for today. whether he was short, out of shape, or lack of seasoning....or a bit of all. pletcher said he wasn't fit, that he expected him to peak in two more races. but wow, no way tap thought flower alley would finish out of the money.

![]() Trainers have said before there horse werent 100% coming into a race and they have looked extraordinary and won races, so I kind of get a little suspect of an excuse before the race even starts. Todd was right and I guess we as bettors should applaud him saying that. I didnt use him at all but still lost.
But how freaking long did he have to get ready for this race? Pletcher had this whole campaign mapped out before the year even started and cant get a horse in shape for a 750K race? If I were the owners I wouldnt be too happy with that. |

![]() Sorry I left out Invasor. Sure, if he went on to win the BC Classic, why not.
Basicall whoever wins the BC Classic out of Lava Man, Bernardini and Invasor. |

![]() maybe the horse isn't the horse everyone thought he was....maybe he was done maturing last fall. and now everyone else has passed him. or maybe he just had an off day. wait and see what everyone has to say about him...wait and see what he does next. we've all seen horses fail to live up to their expectations. some of them come back and wow everyone again, others cause ulcers in the future!
he certainly had a lot of hype all year. at this point he looks undeserving of all the accolades. it's kind of funny he's gotten so much praise, he's only won one race (the salvator mile) since the travers a year ago. one win in a year. i think a lot of people got way ahead of themselves with this guy.

I was speaking metaphorically when I said he was standing ... not sitting ... in a stall for nine months. That was a figure of speech ... for the fact that the horse hadn't raced in nine months. You know what a "figure of speech" is don't you? That's correct. One, two, three, four ... when spoken ... are all figures of speech. Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh !!!

![]() I dont see how a horse that came in a very tough second as a 3 YEAR OLD at the BCC can be considered a fraud. How many races can Invasor run like that? That had to take the starch out. Heroic effort to hold off Sun King in a meltdown.

![]() If surf Cat can return and the conections will send him east he should be in line for some consideration for HOY. Nothing but brialance on the track.

![]() i just hope he didnt get hurt, i have a bad feeling though because he is no fraud.......

![]() He's no fraud and he had a "problem" in the JCGC, I wouldn't be surprised if that problem reared up again. It's funny how short of memories some of you have, but then again most of you are stupid...

![]() This might be Todd Pletchers worse training performance of his career. If Flower Alley goes on to lose the JCGC and BCC then it is all on Pletcher. He had the route mapped out since last Dec.

It's still too early to rate Invasor. But I don't see how anyone can fault what Invasor has done so far. VERY nice horse. --Dunbar
