Where is the respect for Invasor

Nobody thinks Bernardini is better than Invasor or Discreet Cat. They hyped up Bernardini in order to create a star. He never deserved the hype. I admit, I fell for it too, but he really doesn't have that great of a racing record. He beat a bunch of small fields and got a bunch of tired horses in the Preakness. His one test, he failed.

He was beaten by a horse off a huge layoff, and that horse was trounced by Discreet Cat.
