He might not be that fast. Still Reddam paid good money to run that horse in the Donn so you gotta imagine a second place finish in an allowance isn't going to dissaude him. Fairbanks at least has some potential, certainly not enough to beat Invasor or Premium Tap though.

No comment on Fairbanks. Barcola isn't worth 75K.....and I'm dead serious. Reddam was extraordinarily foolish to buy him and the 2YO ( new 3YO ) both of whom were off bias aided and fraudulent inner wins.....and I said this before they raced ( the 3YO ran last Sunday ).

I would be willing to bet he paid about ten times what they were worth. VERY foolish and somebody gave him horrendous advice.

Looks like Fairbanks only got a 96 Beyer last out, I thought it would crack triple digits. Agree on Barcola although I think he might be worth $75K, not much more though. A very foolish purchase.

Personally I think spending over $1 million on any horse before it sets foot on a track is beyond foolish. For an on track purchase though Barcola has to rank up there as one of the more baffling.

Add Magna Graduate as a def

AP Arrow and Master Command as possiblity (MB Sea, O Connell's) both ran nice could be going there as well

Why are there so many decent horses running against Invasor?? Do the trainers know something that no one else does?? I see horses who should be claimers/others who are underachievers

Everytime I see another horse i wonder even if Invasor is running

Likely

Invasor
Magna Graduate
Strong Contender
Hesanoldsalt
Chatain

Maybe

AP Arrow
Premium Tap
Master Command
Fairbanks
Barcola
MB Sea
O Connell's
Better than Bonds
