Invasor's move was timed perfectly.......and Bernardini still gave him all he could handle despite the difference in trips.

Actually, the moves were made at almost the same time. I posted the video again in case you missed it earlier in the thread. Bernardini's move was made probably about a second sooner. Invasor was simply able to sustain his run longer.

It seems that you are implying that Bernardini had a tough trip or at least a tougher trip than Invasor but in watching it again i dont see that. Invasor is four paths wider around the turn, has contact to the inside and has premium tap veering out on him in deep stretch. He looked to have the worst of it.

As freddie mo said, bernardini's jockey was trying to keep him out of trouble. Perhaps the move was a count early but it was better than getting him into trouble which often happens when they sit too chilly on the turn.
