True, but despite winning the Derby, Preakness, and Super Derby as a 3yo, Alysheba ws much better as a 4yo than he was in his 3yo campaign.
He won 6 G1s & a G2 as a 4yo including the Big Cap and the BCC. Right now I think it is a pretty fair comparison, although I too would probably give the slight edge to Invasor.
IF, however, Invasor continues to race this year, wins a couple more G1s and repeats in the BCC (right now there are a lot of reasons to think he might do that) he will move way past Alysheba and will have to move into the discussion with a pretty elite group of horses. This one is impressive.
