He always got the job done and never seemed to get his due because of some other supposed superstar. Tiznow is my favorite horse and I wanted him to be the only two-time Classic winner for a long time. After Invasor proved himself last November, I saw a horse that I felt was more than worthy to join The Tiz in that esteemed rank. We've clearly had our disagreements about many horses, but from what I can tell, 95% of the world agreed to the greatness of Invasor. The amazing thing to me is that it seemed he was still improving with every race. Well, hopefully he can inspire the game from the shed like he did on the track.

I'll miss him too. I look forward to some nice babies.
Good memories. Happy pastures and hot mares for Invasor, you earned 'em big guy.
