He beat Silver Train at Aqueduct but good try.

OK, so Bernardini has faced less than Discreet Cat going into the showdown against Invasor if that makes you feel better. Of course Bernardini had run at the relevant distance prior to the showdown unlike Discreet Cat. Let's see if Discreet Cat can even beat Premium Tap at 10 furlongs before we worry about him against Invasor.

Bernardini did beat the rest of the field on BC day coming in second,including Lava Man, imo is still rather impressive.

Spooky Mulder beat Silver Train. Hell, Tani Maru beat Silver Train. Away from Belmont he's not a very good horse. Premium Tap, who Bernardini beat is a much a better horse than Silver Train at a mile at Aqueduct.

Oops, my bad, for whatever reason I thought this was your point...

You could have added the fact that Silver Train was never a champion, just a BC Sprint winner.
