Riding orders -- Invasor vs. Bernardini

[SniperSB23]

They seem to be much too sporting to pull something like that. The more interesting question is if Bernardini beats Invasor will they bother to supplement Invasor to the Classic?

Probably. The supplement fee is nothing to them - I think its 250k early (not sure when deadline is) or 750k late, meaning that Invasor would have to finish 1st or 2nd to make that back if the supplemented late. Even if loses to Bernardini theres still a great shot that he's the 'best of the rest'...

I read that Bernardini's connections see him as the sire who will give them their Derby winner. With that breeding, it makes sense. Stud fees mean nothing here. I think Invasor is a fine horse, but he is on the track and later at stud no Bernardini.
