and i suppose he is similar to harchi is that he causes so much debate. Remember after the champ hurlde 05? just so much talk..i think hes great though..
But as i say, Invasor was only about 50% for the run in the UAE Derby, and apart from him...... that race sucked.... and i mean sucked. Correct me if i'm wrong, but Testimony had only one a minor race before then and got stuffed in an average race after then.

The third horse didn't un since, all the horses that have run from that UAE Derby (apart from Invasor, who improved no end) have either not run or done no good.

As i said, he is a good horse, but not an exceptional one. He has many limitations in my opinion.

Harchibald is a character. There is no doubt he has a HUGE amount of ability, but he is a very difficult ride. Whether he does too much one the bridle and has nothing left at the end, or whether he just doesn't want to know...... there is no straight answer. What i do know, is that if they did find the key to him. He'd win next years champion hurdle standing on his head and giving the other a mile head start.
