It is unbelievable how much different it was. I was never a huge fan of Alysheba back then but in hindsight I wish there were more like him now. I also wish there were more guys like Van Berg that believed in his horse and would pretty much seek out the other good horses to prove what he had. Now all anybody wants to do it knock off a couple of Grade 1's and get to the shed before they get beat. I guess Invasor is the closest thing we get these days. Like I said before I would love to see him go west to run against Lava Man in California. But I bet he runs in the Surbuban, Whitney, Gold Cup and Classic which is a great year if he wins them all. But who the hell is there to even give him a scare? I mean Premium Tap is a pretty good horse but he has one or 2 graded stakes wins. And I suppose he wont be coming back.
