While this crop has quite a few 'good' horses in this many people seem to forget that we have a monster in a our midst and his name is Invasor. This 5 year old Classic, Dubai World Cup winner has been sitting in the wings ready to enter his summer run in the Suburban. This horse has only been defeated once and has only serious been challenged once in his American tour (i.e Sun King in Whitney) While I have Street Sense and Curlin in high regard we can't be so quick to dismiss our older horses or horse depending on how you look at our talent levels. Invasor quickly dismissed Bernardini *last year's 3 year old champ touted super horse and may just do the same this year. He and Street Sense have the same running style and if the two match up in the Jockey Gold Cup and Classic who would win or have the more explosive turn of foot? History tells us to go with age, a good five year old would most likely beat a good 3 year old.
Maybe this year is the year to have a three year old beat an older horse. If Invasor and SS and Curlin stay healthy we may have a very nice Classic this year, granted that may or may not happen.
Just a thought as to looking towards summer racing.
