lets say they raced now, who wins, and by how many lenghts ?

Tough to say given pace scenarios but I think Invasor is about 4-5 lengths better than what Corinthian has shown. Not to say Corinthian can't show more but there's no way we can know until they face off.

Invasor by 2. . . But Discreet Cat is better than both

And I'm sure he'll prove it by winning the Godolphin Mile.

He's going to enter in both, I'm still hopeful they enter him in the World Cup but I'm expecting they take this excuse to keep him undefeated in the Mile.

if corinthian stays sound , and the big 3 comeback from dubai, then we will have a great year of horse racing. but those are both huge question marks.

I remember just three years ago being all psyched that Ghostzapper, Roses in May, Saint Liam, Eddington and Funny Cide were all pointing to the Whitney. Then when only Saint Liam showed up because three were retired and one was slow it seemed like a total letdown. The end result was we wound up with the race of the year between Commentator and Saint Liam and both topping a 120 Beyer. So I guess what I'm saying is don't get too hopeful that the top horses now are around come August but at the same time don't think that means we won't see new horses emerge and do great things.

And most importantly they can claim it helps them towards their goal of winning every race on the card. Of course they'll conveniently forget their claim that he was skipping the BC Classic for the Dubai World Cup.

Anyone else think Shiekh Hamdan is playing hardball?

I think Corinthian would get destroyed by either Discreet Cat or Invasor. And probably Premium Tap as well. In Corinthian's comeback race, there really was no speed in the race and he got first run on Jazil. Again, on Saturday, there was a definite lack of speed yet despite the good trip, Corinthian looked like he was trying to get out, and had his head turned and was all out to beat the pace disadvantaged He'sanoldsalt.

Yeah, and he's already blemished one of their stallions resume and looks determined to do it again.
