Bernardini did not lose the race so much as Invasor actively won it.

Exactly. This is something that not many people mention. Invasor was full of run at the end of that race. I just hope he races another year. If he does I think its possible that by the end of the year he'll be the one being heralded and compared to the greats. We'll see. He brings a ton of speed and guts to the racetrack and the race does not need to set-up for him.
