You are absolutely right. Roses in May was a very good horse. He would have won the BC Classic many other years. He happened to get unlucky and run against possibly the best horse of the last 20 years. I think GZ's performance in the BC Classic was the best perfomance ever in the BC Classic.
With regard to Bernardini, he is obviously a great horse. I don't think Invasor would have any shot against Bernardini. I would make the over/under on how may lengths Bernardini would beat Invasor by at about 3 lengths minimum. That is a conservative estimate. If they ran in a match-race, I think Bernardini would beat him by at least 5 lengths.
