well...if anyone thinks invasor is indeed NOT running a fever, and is healthy as a --well, you know, and that they aren't running invasor so as to keep bernardini from losing--than i guess you could connect all that together and say that those who feel bernardini is the surest thing this year would be wrong. right?

actually, i think invasor is running a temp, as stated, and may or may not run, as stated. it's horse racing, it's not freaking national security.

Why would Mcglaughlin say he was running all this time and suddenly come up with what some people think is a phony excuse? If he was yellow why wouldnt he have just said 3 weeks ago no way am I going against Bernardini?
Even if he was yellow he could still pick up a nice 2nd place check in a grade 1. I think its legit.

Why keep Invasor away from Bernardini? Stud fees, duh. Bernardini kicks his @ss and Invasor's fee is diminished viz. Bernardini. Retire Invasor now and he's something like 8 for 9 lifetime with 3 Grade 1's in 3 tries. Sounds better than 8 for 11 lifetime with 3 Grade 1's in 5 tries.

A second place check to these people would be about as important as me finding a penny on the sidewalk. If u have read the comments from the trainer all summer, he's let it clearly be known that he was not looking forward to facing Bernardini. This fear is far from sudden.

Man I find this pretty disappointing.
Musta been one hell of a fever, because missing two days training with a fit horse 9-10 days before a race isn't usually a very big deal. Call me skeptical.

Your point is well taken. I think, however, that they are keeping Invasor in the barn to keep HIM from losing, not Bernardini.
