Andromedas Hero is grade 3 material at best and Wild Dessert is getting to be very overrated. I think Invasor has a solid shot to run 2nd in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and maybe 3rd in the BC Classic.

But my question is who is he supposed to be beating? I have been on a few boards and have heard all the detractors of all of the Big 3. Lava Man - Has beaten nobody out on the West Coast, needs to ship out. Why? He is a West Coast Horse and is racing in the major races on the West Coast. Invasor - Has beaten nobody on the East. Who is he supposed to be beating, who is he ducking? has raced in all the major Grade I's on the East Coast since spring. Bernardini - Beat tired horses and a broken down Barbaro in the Preakness. Raced against nobody's in the Jim Dandy and Travers besides a hurt BGC. Is it his fault Bro. Derke and SNS went into hiding along with Bafferts trio. Is it his fault that they decided to duck him in favor of some crap Grade III at Del Mar? The bottom line is the horses have showed up to their respective main events in the spring and summer. And have won each time.
Now to the detractors of any of these horses, I ask, who were they supposed to be beating?
