Anyone think Invasor actually runs in the BC Classic?

U must have just read the post I put up when they announced that he was "sick" and would miss the JCGC? His only chance was for both Bernardini and Discreet to lose. I just don't see him there. I would think if they were going to send him, they would have made that one time payment of $150k a long time ago. But they never did.

He is supposedly recovered from his "sickness" and everyone seems to think it is a foregone conclusion that he will run in the Classic.

The truth is there is plenty of history in the two brothers running against each other and I expect Invasor to run.

Look, I'm as skeptical as anyone, but too many knowledgable people have told me that the fever story is true, and I think there is little reason to believe Invasor won't run. I certainly hope he does.

I saw Dreamer so I know all about the brothers running against each other.

I'd love to see Invasor in the Classic too but I'm not expecting it.

I hope he runs.. but I'm not keeping my hopes up... there's too many others that could beat him, which would make $750,000 not worth it. But I'm hoping...

It does seem a little fishy that the 150K was not put up (ala Lava) and now it will cost 750K to enter the BCC.

Maybe we all should read the news a little more. There was a story in bloodhorse this afternoon about Invasor.

Here are some quotes from Kiaran

"He worked really well this morning," McLaughlin said. "I had him out in 1:01 and change. He's doing fine. As long as he doesn't spike another temperature we'll be in good shape."

"McLaughlin says the colt would be pointed to the Classic."

"As long as he's doing well, we're going," McLaughlin said. "It's going to be a very good race. Obviously, Bernardini would have to be at the head of the class right now, but we're battle tested. I wouldn't think that Bernardini would win by five in a waltz over (Invasor) and Lava Man. We respect Bernardini a lot and he's a special horse, but we're not afraid of him.

"We don't like going into the Classic off 13 weeks, but Invasor has not missed any time other than the four days he lost with the fever."
