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.

Rupert, I think Invasor is a great horse, but I also think he could be sitting on a bounce. My best guess is that Bern matched his top last time out or threw a slight top. I think he actually could be improving. I have to agree with you that he would be my bet in a heads up with Invasor.
