Nice one Tom... and Bernardini was no weak horse, so it speaks volumes of Invasor's resounding win.. he got Eclipse that year, right?

Molten Man at 6-1 was one of the biggest underlays in the history of racing that day.

Would have loved to have seen more of Invasor , but I still admire
the horse . He's a cross continental winner and won five gr 1's at
five different tracks here . Happy to see him inducted
