that is completely illogical.....get it?

well, maybe there was something wrong with him...a fever maybe? so they skipped the jcgc rather than run him when he wasn't 100%. has nothing to do with finishing second in either race imo. invasor has impressed me this year, one loss ever. that horse is for real. the layoff is a bit of a worry, but i've learned my lesson about ignoring the best horse just because of time between races. of course i'm not saying invasor is the best--altho my kids are probably going to be rooting for him because kenny mayne says he is!!

yeah i agree 100%. there was something physically wrong with him.
hooves is saying that they didn't run him in the jcgc because they know that the other horse is better and invasor's connections would rather run second to him in the bcc than the jcgc. i was just asking hooves why - if it is true that invasor's connections believe that the other horse is better - they wouldn't simply take second prize money in both races.
he seems to be implying that if invasor ran second in the jcgc he would not then be able to also win second prize money in the bcc. that doesn't make sense to me.
oh well....it is a moot point anyway. invasor is going to win.
