What is the confusion? They ran the Whitney weeks ago and Invasor has already won that race.

I'm not sold on Invasor either. Especially after his last race. Barely beating Sun King dampened my enthusiam for him a lot. But he could still run very well in the BC and just get beaten by three better horses in Discreet Cat, Bernardini, and Lava Man. I don't think that would expose him just show that there are better horses.

Imo, it doesn't really matter who goes in the JCGC unless it is Bernardini, Invasor or Lava Man because if Invasor and Lava Man don't show up, then Bernardini will just win in a romp as usual.

well, lava man isn't going to be there. one more race and then to churchill to get acclimated.

also, keep in mind that invasor, unlike many other horses past and present, ran in dubai and hasn't taken much time off since...i'm sure a close race can be forgiven, he's going to have lesser efforts--yet still a win! so much for the jinx of running in dubai and missing all year. he hasn't lost since that race to discreet cat, who just came back friday.

that is so strange, i remember reading similar statements a year ago about flower alley....

altho i will grant you that bernardini doesn't seem to be a flower alley.
