Of course he should be carrying more. DrugS is too stupid to understand common sense.

Magna Graduate is the biggest pitch in history. His phony win at Aqueduct was as bias aided as a race can be.

If this were the old days, Invasor would be carrying 130.

perhaps i am missing something, but why in hell would anyone in their right mind bet a dime on any horse in this race not named invasor?
these other horses don't stand much of a chance in my opinion. will invasor be at his best? who cares? his worst race in this country is better than any race run by any of the other horses in this field.
betting against invasor in this race would be crazy.
ap arrow?
magna graduate?
wtf?

Because we KNOW he is going have such LOW odds that is it really worth picking him to win? Nah, we want to go where the money is.

invasor is an absolute steal at 3/5 against the mules in this race.
betting invasor in this race is worth it for the same reason that picking up free money off the ground is worth it.

I doubt he'll go off at 3/5.

Sometimes it is not worth bending over to pick up a penny off the ground.

If this was 100% true, the other horses should just scratch. There are going to be times when Invasor loses... it may happen this weekend.

i completely disagree. one of these bums is going to pick up a nice paycheck for second place.

This is what you said:

"why in hell would anyone in their right mind bet a dime on any horse in this race not named invasor"

I have to agree with you about this. In his last three races his WORST Beyer# is a 111. No other horse in the race has ever run a figure that high. He is as solid a single here as you will find.
