The chances of Invasor actually missing a race with a fever are almost non existant IMO. They knew he would run well fresh, and it didnt make any sense to showdown with Dini before the main objective, the Classic. They did a fantastic job getting him ready, but there is noway the horse ran a 116 beyer, period. He ran 108, which is still very good, but it still makes Dini's race a bounce or a surface he didnt favor. Anyone who has any eye for a horses locomotion can tell the horse was struggling getting over the ground going down the backside. Whether he took some kickback, or just wasnt handling the ground, something was wrong. He was facing better horses, but had he been the same Dini that ran 4 weeks prior.... he wins. Invasor ran huge, and hes the real deal, so is Dini. On both of their best days there is no telling who wins, Im sure nobody would mind owning, or racing either in their colors.
