Yeah, because that's all he did in his career. Invasor is pretty much a different species from Blame. And for all of everyone's excuses about Zenyatta's trip/not handling the track, Bernardini looked like he was spinning his wheels and then got the typical early move ride from Castellano that day.

He was in an all out drive and looked empty... Something was not right, I take it back about him not showing up. He did not handle something, but still kicked in.

I personally liked him and thought he was very good horse. The one race that sticks out to me was the 2007 Donn. I know he beat no one, but the way Garcia steadied and basically stopped him and then have him re-rally on the rail made me believe he was indeed that good.

So you don't think either or all of them would have finished in front of Blame, or you don't think they would have finished in front of Blame because Zenyatta's little nosey was right there with his?

I think it would all depend. Both had similar running styles. Curlins best was better then Blame, but Im not sure Invasor's was.

In that race. On Saturday. You don't think all of those three are in front of Blame? I know you can't be, but for just once, try to be objective.
