Add that to his fake wins in Dubai ( somehow I don't feel Invasor's performance was representative of his ability....don't know about you but I would take my chances with Invasor against Testimony heads up ) and you have an undeniably fast colt who has NEVER faced any real competition in a real race. Let's see him face some opposition, perhaps a little intra-race trouble, and see how good he really is. Annointing horses world beaters based on allowance wins is, at best, a slippery slope.
Not saying he isn't very talented but this praise is absurd.

I agree, BTW. But then again, isnt all we do these days is annoint champions? Heck, if I question the competition that a Mineshaft or a Lost in the Fog faced I am viewed as some type of heretic.
Bernardini is a fine horse but what will he do against a full field of quality? Or Discreet Cat or any of them.
I will say this...taking a futures BC bet on any of them at anything less than say 8-1 is extremely foolish.
