Yes, I just heard the news. He injured himself in a workout this morning. He came out of the work with a cracked sesamoid.

I was hoping that this was one of those threads that was untrue and meant to get a rise out of people. This is awful news. I was looking forward to a great year of Invasor fending off contenders to defend his title.

Yikes! I was also hoping this was a joke. Bad news indeed.

Awful, awful, awful...the older handicap division is a complete wreck without him. Six straight G1 wins- truly a champion.

Oh no...

Well, I'm sorry that we won't see him run anymore, but I'm glad that it wasn't worse than that.

he didn't even show he was hurt until well after the workout.

Guess it's a good thing they get to retire him

damn. was very much looking forward to him running the table again this year. an exciting horse, i enjoyed him a LOT. he was much the best of the older horses, and will be missed.
best of luck to him in the shed. but that's not nearly as gratifying for fans!

Well hopefully they will bring "my" Premium Tap back over here since the division is wide open. Gosh that would be sweet. But Invasor was a good one to say the least.

Life goes on - Right or wrong
Now its all been said and done - Dear Invasor
Seems we've sung love's last song - Dear Invasor
Horses change as bright as day
Like the weather one day sun - next day rain
What ever happened to the plans we made
seems that they ended with a masquerade
Life goes on - Right or wrong
Now its all been said and done - Dear Invasor


Boo hoo hoo. How will I go on?

This whole thing has really bummed me out. I read this morning about how he had a good workout yesterday, and was getting ready for next weekend, and now this.

Real shame....
