If he was a nag, I wouldn't mind having a barnful of them. I also wasn't implying, in case it wasn't clear, that Invasor is anything less than a heck of a horse.

We could have some seriously good fall racing at Belmont-whatwith Bernardini, Invasor and Flower Alley presumably all pointing for the Jockey Club Gold Cup

Why don't you just say it? Sun King couldn't be a top class horse, because he's not out of some "pretty horsey" sire, his PA Derby was pretty good and it was around 2 turns...
