Churchill Downs was the site for the Breeders Cup where Invasor got the better of Preakness champ Bernardini to score a dramatic win in the Classic. Invasor's win in America's richest race was the ninth in 10 career starts for the 4-year-old colt, whose only loss was in the UAE Derby in Dubai after he was purchased by Sheik Hamdan's Shadwell Stable.
When the two went eyeball-to-eyeball in the stretch at Churchill Downs and the crowd of 75,132 cheering, it was Bernardini who blinked as Invasor blew past for a one-length victory on a day of upsets and, in one race, tragedy.
