Too bad we never got to see a rematch, Throat.
No doubt there are better examples, but I'll stand by that one as a good example of a high-quality older runner getting the best of his talented younger rival.
Frankly, I thought that Bernardini would win that day because Invasor hadn't raced for a while and was coming back in a 10-furlong contest. Thought he might be a bit short, but McLaughlin obviously did a great job preparing him for the big race.
