They've shipped him to Dubai and back twice - and haven't allowed him to get a racing foundation under him.

Invasor did that too and shipped from Argentina before that. He managed to get a foundation last year and presumably would have this year had he not got injured.

Invasor did not winter there once.

He shipped there twice - both times from America while training here.

Does he need to win the Vosburgh to get into the BC Sprint? I think a second gets him 6 points... 12-way tie for 16th. Some above him are out, but others may run and get more points the next couple weeks as well.

Only seven spots are determined by points. The other 7 spots are at the discretion of the panel who would almost certainly select Discreet Cat.
