How would The Classic have been...

This isn't about who is better than who - Invasor only beat a hanging Sun King by a head in the Whitney when he had difficult circumstances.

With any kind of circumstances he would have needed a career best race to beat Curlin yesterday.

Lawyer Ron had races that would have won this. Just not on this day. Post hurt him, and he seems to lose interest when things don't go his way.

i don't know, invasor always showed a way to win, and never got much respect. i'd take him over curlin.
but then, it's all just a mental exercise anyway.

have to say, talented as curlin is, and seemingly special, i almost choked earlier this evening when i read gary west writing that asmussen might get the eclipse.
wouldn't that be just grand.
