Premium Tap put up a stronger stretch challenge this time in Dubai, but when it came down to it Invasor just broke him like he always does. Invasor finishes his races more strongly than any in recent memory. What first clued me in to his ability was the Bris pace numbers, which I use all the time. Since I've been using Bris I have yet to see a horse run at such a high sustained pace at Classic distance, even when encountering trouble!

Believe it or not there are still people that didn't notice any of this and are holding on to the concept that it is still not definitive who the better horse is.

Asiatic Boy is another one that impresses every time and could be another monster. I am looking forward to seeing him run over here.
