Invasors problems were caused by Jara thinking about splitting 2 stopping 100-1 shots. I dont think that this race was as good as it looks because of the trouble. I mean he accelerated past 2 stopping horses and outfinished Penna's horse who wants no part of 1 1/8th, Hesanoldsalt who lost a ton of ground on the turn, and AP Arrow who also was steadied behind the stopping horses and was actually under the whip at the 3/8ths while behind Invasor. The pace set up well for him and they did not come home fast on a track that seemed to be a tick or 2 fast. Not saying that he was fully cranked or trying to denigrate the horse but this was not some superior performance. It was a very good horse overcoming a bit of trouble while beating overmatched foes.
