Bernardini was supremely talented - and he gets knocked for finishing 2nd as 3 year old to a great older horse. I can't say he was for sure better than Indy, but it's possible....
Invasor was a pretty nice horse, but great? No way.

Bernardini, he was also a really good horse as well, but I just don't get how people went off the deep-end with him.
