What if Invasor and Bernardini split?

Those moves could have been explained simply by the loss of Electrocutionist.

I can't believe the odds are that low for a horse who is training up to the race in Europe for their first start ever on dirt.

I cant either. European horses are so overrated its actually very comical. Here we have a warrior in Lava Man who does nothing but win on both surfaces and people would rather talk about Dave Junior and his accomplishments and criticize Lava Man for only running in CA.

I guess its very fashionable to like the euros. Makes a lot of sense given their huge success in american dirt racing, lol!

Sightseek and Gander, I agree completely about David Junior's odds. I'm certainly not saying that those are reasonable odds. I was only re-iterating that the odds on the "Big Three" are good enough to suggest that the BC Classic is not just down to those 3 horses.

FWIW, David Junior is available at World Sports Exchange (wsex.com) at 14-1. And that site's future odds are rarely competitive with what Pinnacle and TheGreek put up.

These odds are great but the thing that is scary is , will they even be there. Thats the big chance you are taking.
